1st May - Jack Abbott Welcomes Renters Receiving Biggest Uplift in Rights in a Decade

With the renters Rights Act receiving Royal Assent today, 11 million private renters have secured fairer, more secure tenancies.

At the core of the Act is the abolition of Section 21 'no fault' evictions - a practice that has pushed thousands into homelessness. This seismic shift will empower tenants to challenge poor conditions and unreasonable rent increases without fear of retaliatory eviction.

The reforms will give renters the right to end tenancies with two months’ notice, while protecting legitimate landlord interests through strengthened repossession grounds that support continued investment in the sector.

I was proud to support this Act, and know it will make a huge difference across our town.
