The UK rental market is on the brink of major reform, with the Act aiming to strengthen tenant protections and modernise the private rented sector. A central measure is the abolition of Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, expected to come into effect once the legislation is fully implemented.

Proposals to remove consultation requirements from the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects process could result in poorer-quality developments being fast-tracked at the expense of long-term outcomes.
