"We're now on a countdown of just months to that law coming in - so good landlords can get ready and bad landlords should clean up their act,"
"will drive landlords from the market, reduce supply and send prices up for tenants"
"with a start date of May 2026, we are now set for a six-month fire sale with tenants forced out at short notice"
The government will outlaw no-fault evictions in England from 1 May and end fixed-term tenancy contracts, moving renters onto rolling agreements. The reforms also ban bidding wars and set clearer rules on pets. Landlords warn the changes will increase screening of prospective tenants and create uncertainty when tenancies go wrong. The Renters' Rights Act was formally approved at the end of October and is described as the biggest shake-up to renting in England for more than 30 years. The new rules will affect more than 11 million people and approximately 4.4 million households rented privately between 2021 and 2023. Landlord groups request at least six months to prepare from the publication of regulations.
