The Renters Rights Act will end Section 21 evictions, establish open tenancies, ban bidding wars, and curb discrimination and upfront rent. A major win for campaigners, including ACORN. Find out more

Older people have told us how fear of discrimination and unfair evictions has meant they feel forced to stay in unsuitable properties.

We hope the #RentersRightsAct addresses this but we still need action to ensure everyone has access to a safe, decent home.
Text reads: Types of contract. All fixed-term contracts will become periodic. With ‘periodic’ or rolling contracts, a tenant will be able to end their tenancy at any point by giving two months’ notice. This will offer renters flexibility, so that they’re not tied to a property that potentially doesn’t meet their needs. Text reads: Upfront costs. Landlords will only be able to request up to one month’s rent in advance. This change means that tenants will be protected from requests for large amounts of money upfront to secure a property. Text reads: Rental bidding. Landlords won’t be able to accept offers that are higher than the advertised price. The Act will make it illegal for landlords or agents to ask for, encourage or accept bids above the asking rent of a property. This will make it fairer for all potential tenants viewing a property. Text reads: Pets. Landlords won’t be able to ban pets. A landlord cannot ‘unreasonably’ refuse to allow a pet under the Act. Tenants are also able to challenge decisions they think are unfair.

From 1 May, the #RentersRightsAct will offer private renters more protection.

Our research shows that older renters are at severe risk of financial insecurity. Without intervention the number of older renters is set to soar.

An older man looks at advertisements for rental properties in an estate agent’s window. Text reads: Renters’ Rights Act. What you need to know. Text reads: Evictions. Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions will end. Renters will no longer face the threat of eviction with little notice and reason. Landlords will still be able to evict tenants but only under specific reasons including: The landlord is selling or moving back into the property (only after the first 12 months of a tenancy). Tenant payments fall behind and they owe three months’ rent or more. Anti-social behaviour. Damage to the property. Text reads: Discrimination. Landlords and agents won’t be able to discriminate against potential tenants if they receive benefits or the State Pension. While landlords will still be able to carry out reference checks, it will be illegal to not let to a potential tenant because they receive benefits. Text reads: Rent increases. Landlords will only be able to increase the rent on a property once a year. Tenants will be given two months’ notice when rent is increased and it can only increase in line with market prices. If tenants believe the increase is unreasonable, they can challenge it.

Very rare thing— an opposition MP unconditionally praising something that the government did.

Really glad that MPs on the left worked together on this.

I love that Labour are STILL really pushing out the posts and content about their Renters Right Act.

Get the info out there and repeat it regularly and with new content and new approaches.

It doesn't work if you post once and hope it reaches people. Keep doing it, like Steve Reed is doing here!

Worried your landlord might evict you for reporting damp, mould, or leaks?

You’re protected. The #RentersRightsAct 2025 ends Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, giving tenants security to speak up.

Post 4 of 4—🔎 In my opinion the new Act will likely generate new litigation around unlawful eviction, rent increases, and discrimination — meaningful foundation for future advocacy and policy debates.
