The government has issued a lengthy detailed guide to all provisions of the Renters Rights Bill, which is being presented to the House of Commons shortly.

The full details include a list of all the Bill’s measures – namely periodic tenancies and grounds for possession, rent increases, tackling what it calls “the scourge of Section 21”, details of the Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman, the Private Rented Sector Database, outlawing bidding wars, handling rent rises, renting with pets and the Decent Homes Standard and Awaab’s Law.

A government statement says that the summary contains new details on Rent Repayment Orders, not previously released.

It’s a lengthy read and you can see it in full here.
