The pro-tenant anti-landlord Renters Reform Bill has at last been published by the government which first promised it in 2019.
It has a series of pledges to court favour with renters – it will be harder to evict tenants, easier for renters to have pets, a Decent Homes Standard will be introduced, and landlords will have to join a mandatory Ombudsman scheme.
The government claims 11m tenants across England will benefit from “safer, fairer and higher quality homes thanks to a once-in-a-generation overhaul of housing laws.”
