According to research completed by Finbri, over 40% of UK landlords aren’t aware of the proposed Renters’ Reform Bill act that’s to be voted on before May 2023.
The Renters’ Reform Bill is a proposed legislation set to be voted on this Spring that will significantly impact landlords and tenants in the UK.
The main proposals in the bill are to:
- scrap section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions
- create a register of landlords
- introduce a private rented ombudsman to help enforce renters’ rights
- make it illegal for landlords and agents to refuse to rent properties to people who receive benefits
- give local authorities more power to enforce and protect renters’ rights
