Renters' Reform Act housing law

The Renters' Reform Act's removal of no-fault evictions will significantly shift the burden of proof in housing disputes, requiring landlords to demonstrate legitimate grounds rather than tenants having to fight arbitrary displacement

Implementation challenges around the Act's Section 21 abolition will likely create a transition period where landlords test legal boundaries—having concrete examples of what disputes you're already seeing can illustrate real-world enforcement gaps

The Act's impact on rental affordability is counterintuitive: while tenant protections may increase upfront, the restriction on rapid lease non-renewals could actually reduce housing supply in tight markets if landlords exit the rental market entirely
