The Renters’ Rights Bill (RRB), although not yet finalised, is expected to pass into law by the end summer. Intended to give tenants greater protection, it spells the end The end of Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions and Assured Shorthold Tenancies, also known as ASTs.

Its not all doom and gloom for Landlords—there’s more to the new Renters’ Rights Bill than just tougher rules. It can actually help Landlords too-

Here’s how:

• Fair rent changes – Rent can only go up once a year, with a transparent process.

• Simplified tenancies – One clear tenancy type replaces ASTs. Less admin, more clarity.

• Faster dispute resolution – A new ombudsman handles complaints without going to court.

• Better property standards – The Decent Homes Standard brings consistency across rentals.

While it means a few more responsibilities, it also creates a more stable, fair market for everyone.
