Landlords, Are You Ready for the Renters’ Reform Bill?
What You Need to Know – From Your Trusted Estate Agent
The UK government’s upcoming Renters’ Reform Bill is set to bring significant changes to the rental sector. As your estate agent, we're here to help you stay ahead of the curve and prepare for a smooth transition.
🏡 Key Legislation Changes
The Renters’ Reform Bill includes several proposals that will directly affect landlords:
Abolition of Section 21 Evictions: You’ll no longer be able to evict tenants without providing a specific reason. All evictions must go through Section 8 grounds.
Stronger Tenant Protections: Tenants will have more rights to challenge unfair rent increases or poor housing conditions.
Periodic Tenancies: All fixed-term tenancies will move to rolling periodic contracts, making flexibility essential.
Mandatory Property Standards: Your properties will need to meet the Decent Homes Standard.
🔧 How to Prepare
Review Your Tenancy Agreements: Make sure they’re up to date and reflect the changes.
Invest in Maintenance: Ensure your properties meet health and safety requirements ahead of the legislation.
Document Everything: Maintain detailed records of tenant communications, rent, and repairs.
Seek Professional Advice: Our team is here to help you navigate these changes with confidence.
