It’s shocking that so many people are living in homes that put their health at risk – and totally unacceptable that many landlords are profiting from them. The government must set out when they will apply Awaab’s law to the private rented sector. www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/millions-sti...

Nearly HALF of renters fear rent increases if they report issues with their home, new research finds. The Renters' Rights Act has the power to address this and make renters feel more secure in their homes - but it must be implemented properly. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Yes, it's the inevitable culmination of "affordable housing = 80% of market rent" and freezing local housing allowance, but also #youhadonejob

Serious issues reported here by tenants of Quintain, a big build-to-rent landlord in Wembley. Unlike existing rules, the Renters' Rights Act must be properly enforced so any landlord who breaks the law - large or small - is held to account. www.standard.co.uk/homesandprop...

It takes 21 years for the average single earner to save a deposit to buy their first home in England, assuming they can put away 20% of their income after paying taxes, student loan repayments and rent on a 1-bed home. This is up from 16y in 2014 but down from 31y in 2022. 🧵

Rents continue to soar, yet the budget this week kept housing allowance frozen again. "Refusing to increase housing benefit means many families will remain trapped in emergency homelessness accommodation, unable to afford to move.” - our comment in @bigissue.com www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

"We think landlords should be taxed at the same rate as their tenants who work to pay the rent” - @darlingtom.bsky.social quoted in @thetimes.com yesterday on the budget news. These tax changes likely won't achieve that - but it's a step in the right direction. www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

This is not a renters' budget. With housing benefit still frozen, many low-income families will struggle to afford their rent. But we welcome the increase to taxes on landlords' income. Those with the broadest shoulders should bear a bigger load.

Exciting opportunity: @rentersreformco.bsky.social are looking for a new Interim Director! This role offers a unique chance to help drive lasting change and ensure renters’ voices are heard at the highest levels. Apply by 4 December👉https://rentersreformcoalition.co.uk/were-hiring-interim-director

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 The Renters' Rights Act will come into force on 1st May 2026! For decades, renters have had the threat of no-fault evictions hanging over their head. From May, this will no longer be a worry. Stay tuned for more information on your new rights! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Last month, the Renters' Rights Act became law! We recently celebrated by bringing together the campaigners, politicians, and renters who have worked towards this moment for a decade. Here's what they said about why this change is so needed 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfEu...

Since the ban on ‘no fault’ evictions was first promised in 2019, over 100,000 private tenants have had their lives torn up by a Section 21 eviction. Renters need to know when the ban will actually come into force. It can't come soon enough. www.crisis.org.uk/media/tn1i1h... @crisis-uk.bsky.social

"It is the first moment in my lifetime that I am aware of a piece of legislation materially impacting my life in a positive way." The Renters' Rights Act will make a huge difference to private renters across England - we're proud to have played a part. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

The Renters Rights Act received Royal Assent this week. It was great to celebrate this watershed moment with members of our renters group at the Renters' Reform Coalition event in Parliament yesterday.

We had a fantastic time marking the passing of the Renters' Rights Act at our event in Parliament yesterday 🎉 It was a chance for renters, politicians, and colleagues across the housing sector to celebrate the monumental wins we've fought for over many years.

When you spend all your time fighting inequality, and you get a win, it's so important to take a moment to celebrate! 🎊 Delighted to join Housing Select Committee chair Florence Eshalomi (another rent controls supporter), @rentersreformco.bsky.social & friends to celebrate the #RentersRightsAct!

"You see people claiming that this Bill is bringing in rent controls by the back door - it's complete nonsense." If renters can't challenge them, extreme rent increases will just become the new section 21. The new Renters' Rights Act will give them this right. @darlingtom.bsky.social

“A home should be where life happens, not where fear lives.” Our Chief Executive, @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social, wrote an op ed in @thetimes.com about the Renters’ Rights Bill becoming an Act Read here: www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

Today, the end of no-fault evictions, a new landlord database, and greater rights for tenants to challenge huge rent hikes are enshrined in law. While we still don't know when these changes will actually come into force, this is a huge milestone for private renters in England.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: we've won! Last night, the Renters' Rights Act finally became law of the land. This is the moment we've been waiting for. Soon, landlords will be banned from evicting tenants for no reason. A new era for renters' rights begins now!

Many private renters live in damp and mouldy homes - one in five of which don't meet the decent homes standard. The Government must announce the date for Awaab's Law to be extended to the private rented sector ASAP.

These figures are indefensible. Although the Renters' Rights Act will make a huge difference to renters' lives, those who are worst off still don't have enough to live on. Rachel Reeves should commit to unfreezing Local Housing Allowance in next month's Budget.

Our coalition of housing organisations has campaigned tirelessly over five years for the monumental changes secured in the Renters' Rights Bill. This is what's possible when we work together 💪

The Renters' Rights Bill has been APPROVED by the House of Commons! This is the final step before the Bill receives Royal Assent, which we expect shortly. No more amendments, no more debate - renters' rights are coming.

The number of homeless children is now almost enough to fill Wembley Stadium twice over. Shockingly, one in five families in temporary accommodation have been there for five years or more. We need urgent action to make renting more affordable. www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

🚨GREAT NEWS FOR RENTERS🚨 Last night, we defeated last-ditch amendments that would have weakened tenants' rights and shifted power back towards landlords. The Bill now just needs sign-off from the Commons (and the King) before becoming the Renters' Rights Act!

For too long, section 21 has meant many tenants fear eviction simply for asking for repairs - as @darlingtom.bsky.social says, "England has the weakest tenant protections in all of Europe". The Renters' Rights Bill cannot come soon enough. www.mylondon.news/news/propert...

Homes are the heart of family life - but an insecure rental sector is part of why young couples are putting off having children. @darlingtom.bsky.social tried to appeal to delegates at #CPC25 about why strengthening renters' rights is pro-family.

"What happens when a landlord sells their home? It doesn't sink into the ground - there's no dynamite put underneath it." @darlingtom.bsky.social spoke at Conservative Party Conference on why some landlords selling up won't be bad for renters #CPC25

We're delighted to welcome @migrantsorganise.bsky.social as a partner of the Renters' Reform Coalition! Thank you for joining us in the fight for decent, secure and affordable housing for all 🏡 rentersreformcoalition.co.uk/migrants-org...

🚨Renters are still waiting for security in their homes The Government promised to ban Section 21 "no-fault" evictions over a year ago, yet renters are still left in limbo, not knowing when they’ll finally have the security they deserve [1/3] @rentersreformco.bsky.social

Higher energy costs WILL hit renters the HARDEST. Gov action to bring down bills in the long-term is welcome, but rent caps are the ONLY way to ensure we feel the benefits. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...

Have you got a renting horror story? You could help us campaign for stronger renters' rights. Share your story here👇 rentersreformcoalition.co.uk/share-your-s...

Thank you to @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social for meeting with us today. Along with @generationrent.bsky.social, we discussed the end of Section 21 evictions and the pathway to securing decent standards for rented homes. 🏡

Our Deputy CEO @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social set out the case for limits on rent hikes at @rentersreformco.bsky.social's Labour Conference event. They would: ➡️ Reduce homelessness ➡️ Boost local economies ➡️ Allow renters to save ➡️ Incentivise renters to apply for energy efficiency improvements

It's time to reset the balance of rights and responsibilities between landlords and renters, and ensure every renter has a safe and secure home. Join us if you agree. 🏡💪 rentersreformcoalition.co.uk/join-the-cam...

The Government promised to end Section 21 evictions 'immediately' over a year ago. But renters are still waiting. Ask housing minister Matthew Pennycook to set the date for the ban to come into force ASAP ⬇️✉️ rentersreformcoalition.eaction.org.uk/commencement...

Congratulations to @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social who is staying on as Minister for Housing and Planning, after strong work developing the Renters' Rights Bill. We look forward to continuing working with you on reforming private renting so all renters can have secure, decent and affordable homes.

Welcome to new Housing Secretary Steve Reed, who has taken on the role at a crucial time for renters. We look forward to working with you as the Renters' Rights Bill (in the Commons today) nears passage. Renters need an end to unfair evictions and real security in their homes.

RRC Director @darlingtom.bsky.social on LBC News this morning explained why soaring rents are "a genuine social crisis" - driving up homelessness, poverty and costs across society. The Renters' Rights Bill won't address this. The government must take action to make renting more affordable.

Millions of renters are in fuel poverty and that’s why we back the @rentersreformco.bsky.social Peers have weakened the Renters’ Rights Bill—just when renters need secure, warm homes and lower bills. [1/2]

Shocking development: renting is still unaffordable. As @darlingtom.bsky.social says here, "the biggest issue facing renters – the cost of their rent – isn’t going away any time soon." The govt should set up a national commission focused solely on this issue. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/a...

The Rushanara Ali saga shows the importance of new protections in the Renters' Rights Bill, particularly the 'no re-let’ rule after eviction to sell - recently undermined by the Lords. RRC Director @darlingtom.bsky.social writes on why the govt must fix this. www.insidehousing.co.uk/comment/lets...

"Rushanara Ali’s case perfectly illustrates the current state of renting in England" - being a landlord "has come to be seen as a can’t-lose investment" while tenants have paid the price. RRC Director @darlingtom.bsky.social writes for @lbc.co.uk www.lbc.co.uk/article/engl...

Great work from coalition members Safer Renting and @marksoutoftenancy.bsky.social in this powerful documentary on illegal HMOs. Councils must be properly resourced to tackle this scourge - and ensure the Renters' Rights Bill has a real impact. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Forced out by a £400 rent rise after living with damp and mould - stories like Jason's are far too common. As the RRC's @darlingtom.bsky.social says here, we need a cap on rent increases to prevent rent hike evictions like this. The government's rent tribunal won't get the job done.

Important research here from @neweconomics.bsky.social 👇 Passing the Renters' Rights Bill later this year will just be the first step. For the bill to actually work - to protect renters and drive up standards - will require properly funded enforcement.

Last week Zoopla stats showed average monthly rents have grown by a whopping £200 per month in just 3 years. Out of control rents are pushing people out of their homes and communities - the government must put the brakes on. The RRC's Paul Shanks spoke to @bbc5live.bsky.social last week.
