The Renters’ Rights Bill 2025 is set to reshape the private rental sector in England. With Royal Assent expected laterthis year and many measures rolling out from early 2026, landlords must take proactive steps now to remain compliant, competitive, and profitable.
At Make Ur Move, we help landlords turn regulatory change into strategic opportunity. Whether you need support with compliance, property management, or growing your portfolio, our expert team is here to help.
The Renters’ Rights Bill aims to create a fairer, more transparent rental system. Here are the headline changes every landlord should be aware of:
Section 21 evictions abolished
“No-fault” evictions will be scrapped. All possession claims will need to go through revised Section 8 grounds.
Fixed-term tenancies replaced with periodic agreements
All new and existing tenancies will move to rolling, open-ended contracts — increasing flexibility for tenants.
Rent increases restricted
Landlords will only be allowed one rent increase per year using a formal Section 13notice, with two months’ notice required.
Pets allowed unless reasonably refused
Tenants can request to keep pets. Landlords must have a valid reason to decline and can ask for pet insurance or compensation for damage.
Private Rented Sector Database introduced
Landlords will need to register their properties with a central government-run portal. Renting without registration will be illegal.
Stricter property standards and enforcement
A new Decent Homes Standard will apply to private rentals, along with faster repair timelines and stronger local authority powers.
Mandatory redress scheme membership
All landlords will be required to join a recognised ombudsman or redress scheme to resolve tenant disputes.
These changes represent a major shift but with preparation, they can become a competitive advantage.
Now is the time to audit your tenancy agreements, update your documentation, and assess the condition of your portfolio.
Ensure your rents are aligned with the market — and legally compliant under the new rules.
Implement systems for faster response times, compliance tracking, and tenant communication.
