The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the impact of the Renters’ Rights Act 2026 on existing tenants whose fixed-term agreements were close to expiry when the Act came into force and of the potential merits of transitional protections for such tenants; and whether he plans to undertake a review of the financial impact of the Renters’ Rights Act 2026.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The Impact Assessment for the Renters’ Rights Act can be found here.

My Department continues to monitor trends across the private rented sector and is conducting a robust evaluation of the impact of the Renters' Rights Act. Evaluation reports will be published two and five years after implementation.
