Get ready for the Renters Rights Bill with our second Landlord Event - our first event was a huge success so don't miss out!
It’s happening. After months of debate, the Renters’ Rights Bill is entering its final stage – known as “ping pong” – where the Commons and Lords go back and forth on proposed amendments. Royal Assent is expected by the end of September.
One amendment to watch? Pet policies.
The Lords are pushing to reinstate requirements for pet insurance and even a separate pet deposit (up to three weeks’ rent). If passed, this could significantly affect how you manage tenancies.
Here’s the crucial bit:
Once the Bill becomes law, it comes into effect immediately. No grace period. No phased rollout. Major changes will take hold overnight:
- Section 21 abolished – say goodbye to “no fault” evictions
- Fixed-term tenancies scrapped – all agreements become periodic
- Rent increases restricted – with new rights for tenants to challenge them
- Pet requests harder to deny
- Mandatory registration with a new Ombudsman – with financial penalties for non-compliance
- Local councils gain enforcement power – and keep the fines
Whether you manage a single let or a portfolio, these reforms will change how you operate – fast.
Don’t wait for the law to drop. Prepare now.
Places are limited – book your spot today and stay one step ahead.
