The Government’s proposed Renters’ Rights Bill, while maintaining fixed-term tenancy agreements for Purpose Built Student Accommodation, fails to extend the same provisions...

The House of Lords is preparing to start its detailed scrutiny of the Renters’ Rights Bill next week.

Over 60% of tenants say they don’t know if the long-awaited Bill will address their concerns.

The National Residential Landlords Association has warned that greater clarity is needed surrounding when measures in the Renters’ Rights Bill will take effect.

Property inspections should be carried out at least twice a year. However, higher-frequency checks are recommended for high-traffic rental types such as HMOs.

The warning comes amid a highly competitive rental market with data from Zoopla showing that there are now an average of 12 renters chasing every available home to rent.

Despite the huge increase in monthly costs, Rightmove estimates that average payments are still £155 lower than their peak in July 2023.

The Chancellor's plans for growth will fail unless the supply of rental homes is increased to match rising demand.

Newly released data has highlighted an ongoing shortage of homes to rent in the PRS.

The National Residential Landlords Association has highlighted the pressures councils are already under ahead of the Renters' Rights Bill.
