Major Overhaul in Renters' Rights: No More No-Fault Evictions

In a landmark move, Labour has announced comprehensive reforms to the private rental sector, marking the most significant changes in over three decades. The proposed Renters Reform Bill aims to ban no-fault evictions, providing tenants with greater security and stability. Additionally, the reforms will restrict landlords from increasing rents more than once a year and introduce a new 'decent homes standard' to ensure all rented properties meet basic safety and comfort criteria. Tenants will also gain the right to request pets in their homes, further enhancing their living conditions. This sweeping legislation is designed to create a fairer, more secure rental market for millions.
