Renters Rights

Currently, Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988 (“HA 1988”) enables private landlords to terminate a tenancy agreement without having to provide any reason and/or establish fault on the part of the tenant, commonly known as ‘no-fault’ evictions.

The Renters (Reform) Bill will improve the system for both the 11 million private renters and 2.3 million landlords in England. Our reforms have been developed in consultation with landlord and tenant groups over the past five years.
