Writing in Property Notify, Kate Faulkner has written her views on the Renters Rights Bill.

The original can be seen here, and in summary says that the Renters’ Rights Bill (RRB) is generating mixed reactions, with the consumer press highlighting increased protections for tenants, while property and trade publications warn of reduced landlord rights—especially the abolition of Section 21 “no-fault” evictions.

The Bill will make letting more challenging, increasing compliance burdens and risks for landlords. While long-term landlords may benefit from rising rental demand due to a shrinking market, accidental landlords face a stark choice: seek professional management or exit the sector.

Despite concerns, landlords have adapted to past regulatory and financial challenges, including tax changes, licensing rules, and rising costs. With careful planning and expert support, they can navigate the RRB’s impact.
