Will the Renters (Reform) Bill go live next year?

Will the Renters (Reform) Bill go live next year?

Thursday 28th December 2023

PayProp UK boss Neil Cobbold says that the government's flagship legislation for the private rented sector remains in limbo.

This time last year it had been expected that the Renters (Reform) Bill would be on the statute books by January 2024. But the government waited until May before introducing the Bill and hesitated further before October's second reading and then coughing and spluttering its way through the committee stage at the beginning of December.
Now, like something of a Christmas tree, suitably adorned with glittering amendments, it will sit quietly in the corner and await its third reading at some point in 2024 before progressing to the House of Lords for similar treatment.
