After May 2026.

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 creates four simultaneous legal obligations for private landlords. No-win-no-fee solicitors are already targeting non-compliant properties. Forensic evidence is the only defence.
Four Simultaneous Legal Exposures
Awaab's Law — PRS Extension
Awaab's Law duties extend to the private rented sector as the relevant provisions are brought into force for the tenancy concerned. Landlords must meet the duties and timescales that apply to their property and tenancy. BPD's agreed scope and reporting timetable do not replace those duties. Independent investigation evidence supports a documented response.
Section 21 Abolished
No-fault evictions are gone. Tenants can report disrepair without fear of eviction. No-win-no-fee firms are already marketing directly to tenants: "Your landlord can't evict you for complaining anymore."
Decent Homes Standard — Now Binding
A single Category 1 HHSRS hazard can trigger rent repayment orders, civil penalties, and improvement notices. Compensation in disrepair claims regularly exceeds £5,000–£15,000.
PRS Database — Register or Lose Rights
Every landlord must register with current safety certificates. Non-compliance is publicly visible. Solicitors search the database to identify targets before sending a single letter.
The Question Is Not Whether Solicitors Will Target Your Property
The question is whether you have the forensic evidence to defend it.
