Civic intelligence prototype
An experiment in explaining, tracking and discussing real legislation. It is not an official parliamentary service, and nothing on it is a vote, a poll or legal advice. Records were verified on 2026-09-23; always check the official page for each law before relying on it.
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.
How this dossier is put together
- Each dossier covers one piece of legislation, chosen because it is prominent and well documented.
- Every factual claim is tied to a primary source listed in the sources card, with the date it was checked.
- Influence entries describe recorded, published contact only. They are neutral descriptions, never conclusions.
- Arguments for and against are summarised from the positions organisations have put on the public record, without endorsement.
- Where evidence is contested or missing, it is listed under uncertainties rather than resolved.
- Nothing here is party-political, and no colour, symbol or ordering is intended to signal a party.
