The Rent Reform Bill is a proposed law aimed at making renting fairer and more transparent for tenants while addressing concerns raised by landlords. Our ARLA qualified lettings team is fully prepared for the upcoming changes and is available to answer any questions you may have.
Key Proposals
There are several key proposals within the bill, including:
- Rent Increase Regulations: The bill proposes limiting how frequently landlords can increase rent, allowing only one rent increase per year. Additionally, tenants will have the right to challenge excessive rent increases through a tribunal. This measure aims to provide tenants with greater certainty and predictability in the renting process.
- Tenant Security: The bill may introduce stricter regulations around evictions, requiring landlords to provide reasonable grounds for eviction, thus offering tenants more security in their homes.
- Tenant Rights: Proposed changes could strengthen tenants’ rights, giving them better legal protections and improved access to support.
- Landlord Incentives: The bill may offer incentives, such as tax breaks or other benefits, to landlords who comply with the new regulations.
Overall, the Rent Reform Bill aims to balance tenant protections with the interests of property owners, contributing to more stable housing costs and improved living conditions.
