Landlords will likely raise rents significantly above inflation over the next year as Labour’s bill for renters reaches its final stages, a leading industry figure has warned.
The government’s Renters’ Rights Bill is due to pass later this year, bringing in a slate of reforms to the private rental sector.. They include an end to no-fault eviction notices, stopping bidding wars for tenancies and preventing landlords from demanding more than a month’s rent in advance from a new tenant.
