‘At 740PM last night the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 (“RRA”) received Royal Assent and passed into law. The Prime Minster declared:
“Every family deserves the dignity of a safe and secure home.”
“For too long, millions of renters have lived at the mercy of rogue landlords or insecure contracts, with their futures hanging in the balance. We’re putting an end to that.”
“A secure home isn’t just bricks and mortar – it’s the foundation for opportunity, safety, and a better life. No child should grow up without one.”
And while, at the time of writing, a consolidated version of the final legislative text does not appear on either the Parliamentary or Government legislation websites (and this post is to be read subject to that caveat), it nevertheless seems an apt time to take stock.’
