The Renters (Reform) Bill is in its final stage in Parliament, marking the biggest shake-up of England’s rental market in over 30 years. Due to receive Royal Assent later this autumn, the Bill will abolish Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, introduce open-ended tenancies, extend the Decent Homes Standard to private rentals, and raise the rent-arrears eviction threshold to three months. Together, these measures are set to redefine the balance between landlords and tenants across England
