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. This legislation ushers in the most significant increase in tenant rights for a generation, according to the government.
The Act secures a fairer and more secure future for England’s 11 million private renters by changing the legal landscape of private renting. This is part of the government’s Plan for Change.
The legislation delivers on a key government manifesto commitment to rebalance the relationship between tenants and the country’s 2.3 million landlords. The goal is to end a system that has historically left renters vulnerable to unfair treatment and insecurity.
The government has called this the most significant increase in tenant rights for a generation.
The Act received Royal Assent at 7:40 pm, marking a historic moment for housing rights in England.
