The Renters' Rights Bill 2025: When will it come into place?

As of May 2025, the UK's Renters' Rights Bill is making its way through Parliament and is set to bring major changes to the private rental sector in England.

The bill is currently at the Committee Stage in the House of Lords, where it's under close review and debate. Key discussions have focused on setting up a Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman Service and making changes to rent repayment orders.

Now that Parliament is back in session following the Easter break, the bill is expected to move to the Report Stage soon. The government is aiming for Royal Assent by summer 2025, with the new legislation set to come into effect in October. That timeline gives agents, landlords, and tenants a few months to prepare.

As we get closer to these changes taking effect—are you ready as a landlord? Having a reliable letting agent who can guide and support you through these updates has never been more important.  Contact us today to find out how we could help you.
