🏡 Renters’ Rights Bill: What Landlords Need to Know Now

The clock is ticking 🕒 – Be ready — while the timeline is still unclear, the direction of travel isn’t. Major reform is coming. 🚨 Find out what’s happening and how it affects you. 👇

🏛️ Renters’ Rights Bill: Where Are We Now?

📅 July 1st: The Renters’ Rights Bill returns to the House of Lords for its report stage — but there’s still no confirmed date for when it will actually become law. ❓

⏳ Mid-July Crunch: Three Lords debates are scheduled, with the last on 15 July. But with Parliament’s summer recess beginning 22 July 🏖️, it's unlikely the bill will clear all stages in time.

🔄 Next Window: MPs aren’t back until September 📆, and then they’re off again for party conferences 🎤 — pushing any real progress into autumn 🍂.

⚖️ What’s Coming:
When it does pass, the Bill will bring big changes:
  • 🚫 Ban on Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions
  • 🧑‍⚖️ Mandatory ombudsman for all landlords
  • 🗂️ National landlord database
  • 🔁 End of fixed-term tenancies
 

🧭 What This Means for Landlords:
Be ready — while the timeline is still unclear, the direction of travel isn’t. Major reform is coming. 🚨

At M&M Estate & Letting Agents, we have analysed the latest economic forecasts, mortgage trends, government legislation and on-the-ground activity across Gravesend, Medway and the wider South East.

The first Renters’ Rights Act changes commence on 27 December 2025. Local Housing Authorities (LHAs) will have stronger rights to investigate whether a landlord or letting agent has breached certain housing laws. Read on to find out what's happening.

What does the November budget mean for homes in Gravesend? New tax measure will influence affordability, demand and long-term property decisions that will shape how people buy, sell and invest in property over the next few years.
