Labour Introduces Comprehensive Renters' Reform Bill

The new legislation aims to end no-fault evictions and impose stricter standards on landlords to protect tenants.

Labour's Renters' Rights Bill seeks to abolish Section 21 no-fault evictions, providing immediate protection for tenants.
Landlords must ensure properties meet a 'decent homes standard' or face fines up to £7,000.
The bill bans blanket prohibitions on renting to benefits recipients, families with children, and pet owners.
Blind bidding on rental properties will be prohibited to prevent tenants from being forced to offer above the asking price.
Advocacy groups welcome the changes but express concern over the lack of rent control measures.
