Labour's new Renters' Rights Bill, set to take effect next summer, aims to significantly reform rental laws in the UK by banning no-fault evictions and limiting landlords to raising rents only once a year to the market rate. Tenants will now be able to miss up to three months of rent before facing eviction proceedings, and they will receive four weeks' notice before being asked to leave, an increase from the previous two weeks. The bill also prohibits in-tenancy rent increases from being written into contracts and bans landlords from blocking tenants on benefits or with children. Additionally, landlords will be required to publish an 'asking rent' and cannot accept bids above that price, effectively ending rental bidding wars. Critics, including the National Residential Landlords Association, warn that these changes may lead to legal backlogs in eviction cases. Housing Secretary Angela Rayner emphasized the need to protect renters from retaliatory evictions and improve living conditions.
