💨 Abstract

Yesterday, the King signed the Renters’ Rights Act, transforming England's private renting landscape. The law aims to balance tenant and landlord rights, introducing measures like ending Section 21 evictions, allowing pets, and establishing a Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman. It also mandates quick fixes for health and safety hazards, inspired by Awaab Ishak's tragic case. While rent increases are still allowed, they must be fair and appealable.
