The Renters' Rights Act received royal assent on 27 October 2025.

In this episode, senior associate Hägen Wolf Philip Copley, and Exchange Chambers barrister John Waiting look at the government's Renters Rights Act implementation road map. They discuss what is already in place, what is yet to come, and how the most significant measures may affect residential landlords and tenants.
