  • What the Renters' Rights Act Means for You
    Apr 30 2026

    It’s a bad week to be a dodgy landlord in the UK, as a new piece of legislation comes into force bringing much-needed security for tenants, and reducing the power landlords have to turf out residents at short notice. The BBC earlier this week were billing it as “one of the biggest changes to housing law in history”. But I’m here to tell you that that’s not quite true. In fact it’s really just reversing a ridiculously permissive system which, over the past few decades, has allowed landlords to effectively do as they please, and restoring some much-needed balance to the situation.
