RENTERS REFORM BILL: THE CHANGES AHEAD

Renters' Reform Bill introduces big changes for tenants and landlords

Modernisation of the property renting system will impact 4.5 million households

Long-awaited plans to shake up the private rented sector in England have been unveiled by the government following years of speculation.

The Renters’ Reform Bill aims to help 11 million tenants benefit from 'safer, fairer and higher quality homes'.

Changes include a ban on no-fault evictions and improving the rights of tenants to have pets.

Here, we explain what the major reforms mean for landlords and tenants.

The wide-reaching reforms have been described by the government as a 'once-in-a-generation overhaul' of housing law.

Levelling Up and Housing Secretary Michael Gove said: 'Too many renters are living in damp, unsafe, cold homes, powerless to put things right, and with the threat of sudden eviction hanging over them.

'This government is determined to tackle these injustices by offering a new deal to those living in the private rented sector; one with quality, affordability, and fairness at its heart.'

What's in the Renters' Reform Bill?

- Ban on no-fault evictions
- Repossessions for missed rent or anti-social behaviour
- Tenants given more rights to keep pets
- New ombudsman to resolve disputes
- Registering to a property portal
