Millions of tenants in England will benefit from ‘safer, fairer and higher quality homes’ thanks to the Renters Reform Bill that has been introduced to parliament.
The Renters Reform Bill proposes a number of changes to how private renting works, including abolishing no-fault evictions and ending bans on tenants with children or those who claim benefits. Families on benefits are some of the worst affected by the cost of living crisis, and have been struggling with rising costs all round, from how much their energy bills cost to high food prices and more. To help, those most vulnerable households will be eligible for additional cost of living payments throughout 2023 and into 2024.
