Renters (Reform) Bill
| There has been a lot of coverage in the media this week of the Rent Reform Bill. I have had a number of calls over the past few days in relation to this, and the first thing to say is that for the moment is nothing has changed.
There has been a lot of focus on the headline grabbing elements of the Bill which include:-
It must be remembered that the introduction of the bill has been delayed since 2019. Measures contained in the Bill will still need to overcome the usual legislative process and readings in the Houses of Parliament. There will be hurdles and amendments along the way, and whether the Bill will make it on to the statute book before the next General Election, is still open to debate. As we have seen with the recent delaying until 2028 of the EPC changes for rental properties, legislative change does take time.
