The Renters Reform Bill & the case for guaranteed rent

Written By Elliott Clark

Big changes are coming for landlords across England. The Renters Reform Bill, one of the government’s most significant housing reforms in decades, is moving closer to becoming law. Aimed at creating a fairer system for tenants, the Bill is set to dramatically reshape how landlords operate.

Key points of the Bill

  • Scrapping Section 21 – landlords can’t evict tenants without providing valid legal grounds.

  • Rolling tenancies – fixed-term tenancies will be replaced by open-ended agreements, reducing landlords’ control.

  • Restrictions on rent increases – landlords can only increase rent once per year and tenants can dispute hikes via a tribunal.

  • New standards and enforcement – properties must meet higher standards, and landlords face stricter rules and larger fines for non-compliance.

  • Mandatory registration – landlords will need to join a national property portal and an Ombudsman scheme.

These changes are expected to start coming into force from late 2025 into 2026, though delays are possible.

What this may mean for landlords

Landlords could soon face:

  • Less flexibility to regain possession of their property.

  • Greater costs and bureaucracy to stay compliant.

  • Financial risks if tenants dispute rent increases.

  • The stress of navigating an increasingly regulated market.


For many landlords, these changes could make traditional letting far less attractive.
