🏠 Big news for renters – your rights just changed!

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 is now law. This is one of the biggest shake-ups in renting for years and it’s designed to give tenants more protection, more fairness, and more security.

Here’s what it means for you:

🚫 No more “no-fault” evictions – landlords can’t just ask you to leave without a valid reason.

📅 No more fixed terms – most tenancies will now roll on periodically, so you can give notice when you want to move.

💷 Rent rises limited – landlords can only increase rent once a year, and you can challenge unfair increases.

❌ No bidding wars – landlords can’t ask tenants to offer more than the advertised rent.

💡 Homes must be safe and decent – new rules extend the Decent Homes Standard and Awaab’s Law to private rentals.

👶 No discrimination – landlords can’t refuse tenants just for having children or receiving benefits.

⚠️ Not all parts of the new law start straight away, but change is happening fast.
