Dispute Resolution Case Law Update: Scrapping Section 21 ‘No Fault’ Evictions and Reforming the Private Renting System
The Renters’ Rights Bill (the “Bill”) introduced by the Labour Government on 11 September 2024, is intended to make substantial changes for the rental market. The Bill has been given its first reading in the House of Commons and now needs to be scrutinised and passed into law. The Second Reading, where MPs will debate the Bill, is scheduled for 9 October 2024. The impact of the legislation, once passed, will be felt far and wide and whilst undoubtably increasing rights of renters and ensuring improved conditions and certainty, will cause some landlords to evaluate the cost of these changes and how it impacts their investments.

Camilla Pratt, a Senior Associate in our Dispute Resolution teams considers the decision and its implications.
