As the Renters Rights Bill passes rapidly through parliament amendments are being made to the original proposal. Most notably, to the ability to charge upfront rent and regaining possession on student tenancies. How will these changes impact landlords and tenants in the future?

It is no longer a case of if the Renters Rights Bill comes into force, it is when. This is set to be the biggest change the Private Rental Sector (PRS) has seen since the 1988 Housing Act, so now is the time to start preparing.

The current minimum energy standard for private rental homes is an E rating. The proposal seeks to change this to a minimum of band C from 2028 for new tenancies and 2030 for existing tenancies. There are some exemptions and spending caps being consulted on so now is the time to have your say.
