The Renters' Rights Act 2025 is here.
In force · 1 May 2026
Section 21 'no-fault' evictions abolished
Landlords can no longer serve Section 21 notices. All possession claims now require a valid Section 8 ground and a court hearing.
Renters' Rights Act 2025
Assured Periodic Tenancies replace ASTs
Fixed-term ASTs have converted to rolling periodic tenancies, giving tenants greater security of tenure.
Compliance

With the Decent Homes Standard and Awaab's Law extending to the private sector, robust HHSRS evidence matters more than ever.
