🏠 What the Renters’ Rights Bill Means for You

By Cow & Co London | 05/11/2025

The UK’s new Renters’ Rights Bill marks one of the biggest reforms to the private rental sector in years — aiming to make renting fairer, more secure, and more transparent.

At Cow & Co London, we help tenants and landlords navigate these changes confidently. Here’s what you need to know.

🔑 The Key Changes

• End of ‘No-Fault’ Evictions (Section 21)
  Landlords will no longer be able to evict tenants without a valid reason. This means longer, more secure tenancies and greater housing stability.
• Stricter Property Standards
  Landlords must ensure homes meet stronger safety and maintenance standards. Local councils will have more power to enforce repairs and fine negligent landlords.
• Clearer Rent Rules
  Rent increases will be limited to once per year and require proper notice. Tenants will have the right to challenge excessive rises.
• Improved Tenant Rights
  The Bill strengthens access to redress schemes and dispute resolution, giving renters more protection against unfair practices.

🏙️ What It Means for London Renters

For Londoners, where renting is often long-term and expensive, the Bill could be transformative:

• More security — fewer surprise evictions and more predictable tenancies.
• Better quality homes — landlords required to maintain higher standards.
• Greater transparency — clearer rent reviews and easier dispute processes.

These changes should make renting in the capital more stable, fair, and accountable — benefiting responsible tenants and landlords alike.
