The Renters’ Rights Act Becomes Law

The Renters’ Rights Act, which abolishes 'no-fault' evictions, aims to rebalance the relationship between landlords and tenants.

The Renters’ Rights Bill officially received Royal Assent on October 27, 2025, becoming the Renters’ Rights Act and ushering in what the government has called the most significant increase in tenant rights for a generation.

The landmark legislation secures a fairer and more secure future for England’s 11 million private renters by fundamentally changing the legal landscape of private renting as part of the government’s Plan for Change.

The Act delivers on a key government manifesto commitment to rebalance the relationship between tenants and the country’s 2.3 million landlords, aiming to end a system that has historically left renters vulnerable to unfair treatment and insecurity.
