This page has information about the progress of the Renters’ Rights Bill and information about content on the bill, both on Landlord Law and the Landlord Law Blog. (Last updated 18/10/2025)
The Bill has passed its second reading, the committee stage and has had its third reading. In the House of Lords, it has passed its second reading, the committee stage and third reading. The bill is now in its final stage and should receive the Royal Assent shortly. The final stage should be on 22 October when the Commons will be considering amendments from the Lords (only one I believe).
Once the bill becomes law and its provisions are certain, I will start to update the Landlord Law site and give guidance to members. The Landlord Law tenancy agreements will be updated at that time, although I may wait until we have been given the new prescribed terms, which must be included.
In the meantime, I have set up a page of Landlord FAQ – please let me know additional questions to go here via the Green Button messenger

Landlord Law content updates
I am in the process of going through all content. Where this will be affected by the bill when it is made law, I am adding a warning note. These items will then be either updated or deleted when the law changes.
The Audit Kit has been updated to notify users where they need to take account of future changes when doing their audit. I have also updated the English Checklists to warn about pending changes.
