England Passes Major Renters’ Reform Ending No-Fault Evictions
A new law giving renters in England stronger rights has been approved, marking the biggest overhaul of tenancy rules in more than 30 years. The Renters’ Rights Act will ban “no-fault” evictions, create open-ended tenancies, and allow tenants to challenge excessive rent increases through tribunals. Ministers say the reforms will improve security and fairness in the private rental sector, though landlord groups have raised concerns about the changes.
