New, stronger rights are now a reality for renters
After years of tireless campaigning, the changes in the Renters' Rights Act have finally started to come into force.
From 1 May 2026, renters in England will benefit from greater protections and a fairer private renting system.
This success shows what can be achieved through collective action.
