Measures include abolishing Section 21 no fault evictions, enabling tenants to challenge poor practice and unfair rent increases without fear of eviction. With private renting now accounting for 19% of UK households in England double the share it was in the early 2000s the pressures facing tenants have never been greater."
"Recent figures suggest 21 people are competing for each rental property, with average monthly private rents rising by 5.8% to 1,403 in August 2025. At the same time, there is an exodus from the rental market by private landlords, with 31% of landlords reported as reducing the size of their rental portfolio by 2026, and 16% planning to sell all of their properties. This is intensifying demand for rental properties."
