Landlords in the UK are preparing for the upcoming Renters’ Rights Act by tightening tenant screening processes to reduce risk. With reforms limiting evictions and increasing tenant protections, landlords expect it will be harder to remove problematic tenants, prompting more cautious selection. Many are becoming more selective overall, aiming to safeguard income and compliance. While this may reduce risk for landlords, it could make it more difficult for some renters to secure housing.
