Labour Government Moves to End No-Fault Evictions with New Renters' Rights Bill

The bill aims to provide greater security and protections for renters, addressing long-standing issues in the private rental sector.

The Renters' Rights Bill will abolish Section 21 no-fault evictions immediately, shifting all evictions to the county courts.
The legislation introduces new grounds for possession and strengthens tenants' rights to challenge rent increases.
Labour's bill also aims to end rental bidding wars and ensure landlords cannot discriminate against tenants on benefits or with children.
The proposed reforms include applying Awaab’s Law to address hazards like damp and mould, ensuring safer living conditions.
Landlords express concerns about potential court backlogs and the impact on the private rental market.
