UK Parliament, 2024-25 session — now an Act (c. 26)

RENTERS' RIGHTS ACT 2025 (INTRODUCED AS THE RENTERS' RIGHTS BILL)

It changes the balance of security between renter and landlord. How much changes in practice now depends on court capacity and on the commencement regulations still to come.

Records of contact, donations, employment, or public advocacy do not by themselves prove improper influence or wrongdoing.
