Renters Rights Act 2025

The Renters’ Rights Bill was published on 11 September 2024 to change the law about rented homes in England. The legislation will abolish fixed term assured tenancies and assured short hold tenancies and deliver on the Labour Party’s manifesto commitment to transform the experience of private renting, including by ending Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions.

Here at DC Lane we are busy getting ready to ensure our clients are prepared for the coming changes and their properties are compliant with these new laws which come into effect on the 1st May 2026.

We have produced and collated a number of resources that help guide you through. Please have a watch of our briefing video from Director Dan, download our Facts Document or follow the link to the further detail on the .gov website.
