Renters' rights - landlords

Phase 2: likely to start in late 2026

Introduction of a Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman

A Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman will handle disputes between landlords and tenants. The Ombudsman's decisions will be legally binding and all landlords will need to register with the scheme.

Private rented sector database

All landlords will have to register their properties on a new national private rented sector database. This aims to improve transparency and enforcement in the rental market.
