The Renters’ Rights Act 2024 is a major new law passed by the UK Parliament to overhaul the private rented sector in England. It builds on earlier proposals known as the Renters (Reform) Bill and is designed to give tenants stronger protections and more stability.
The Act is being introduced in stages from the 1st May 2026, but its overall goal is to rebalance the relationship between landlords and renters.

The private rental sector in England is changing more than at any time in recent decades. The new Renters’ Rights Act introduces major reforms that affect how every landlord must manage their property, their tenants, and their legal responsibilities.
While these changes are designed to improve standards for renters, they also create new risks, obligations, and administrative burdens for landlords. More than ever, professional guidance is essential.

The end of “no-fault” evictions, tighter rules on rent increases, stronger tenant protections, and the introduction of a national landlord register mean that the way properties are let and managed has fundamentally changed.
Even experienced landlords now face challenges. Getting any of this wrong can lead to costly delays, penalties, or even being unable to regain possession of your property when you need to.
