New Renters' Protections: No-Fault Evictions Banned

On November 14th, a landmark law was confirmed, offering significant protections to millions of renters nationwide. This legislation, set to take effect within six months, aims to rebalance the power dynamic between tenants and landlords. Key changes include the abolition of no-fault evictions starting May 1, 2026, a limit of one rent increase per year, and restrictions on discrimination against tenants with benefits or children. Landlords must also have a valid reason to deny pet requests. This legislation, a major part of the governments manifesto, received Royal assent last month. Councils will enforce these new regulations starting next May, marking a significant shift towards equality and fairness in the rental system. DNN | The Daily News Now!
