The Renters’ Rights Bill is likely to become effective in late 2025 and is the most significant reform the private rented sector has seen since the Housing Act 1988.  The Bill has wide-ranging implications for landlords, tenants, and letting agents alike.

The key changes are likely to include:

Abolition of Section 21 Evictions and fixed term assured tenancies

New grounds of possession

Introducing the Decent Homes Standard to the private sector

Addressing Rental Bidding Wars and Unfair Practices

Limiting In-Tenancy Rent Increases

Extending Awaab’s Law: Ensuring Safe Living Conditions

Creating a Private Rented Sector Database and a Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman

Enhanced Rent Repayment Orders

Rights to keep a pet

We are extremely proud of Jane Bradbeer and Kate Davidson who took part in the Northumberland Mighty Hike on 15 July 2023, walking 26 miles in atrocious weather conditions. They battled torrential rain, thunder and lightning but made it to the finish line still smiling, after a long 10.5 hours. Between them they raised over £1000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

What an achievement, well done ladies!
