This morning you received a copy of the November Landlord News from Private Housing Standards.
Due to our system requirements this was drafted and scheduled to send over a week ago, however, during the time from it being scheduled to being published/sent to you, the Renters Rights Bill has now obtained Royal Ascent on 27th October 2025, and is now an Act.
We will be sending you more details on the Renters Right Act in a bulletin in the coming weeks.
Please find below the amended section of Landlord News November 2025.
Renters Rights Act
The Renters’ Rights Act (RRA) has now received Royal Ascent and is now an Act. This Act will bring significant changes to the private rented sector.
As a landlord, understanding these changes will help you prepare for a smooth transition, avoid penalties, and maintain strong tenant relationships.
Section 21 evictions will be abolished, meaning landlords can no longer evict tenants without a specific reason.
All tenancies will become periodic (rolling contracts), and Possession will only be granted under legally defined grounds, such as:
- Selling your property
- Moving in yourself or a close family member
- Tenant rent arrears or anti social behaviour
Are you prepared?
- Familiarise yourself with the new possession grounds - understand when and how you can lawfully regain possession.
- Keep clear records if you plan to sell, refurbish, or move into a property to support any future possession claims.
- Improve tenant communication - a strong landlord-tenant relationship will help reduce disputes over possession
