Renters (Reform) Bill FAQ

Renters (Reform) Bill dropped

On 22 May, Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak MP, announced that a general election (GE) will take place on 4 July.

Parliament ended before the Renters (Reform) Bill could complete its passage, meaning it will not become law. It will now be up to the next Government to decide what shape reform of the private rented sector will take.
