No-fault evictions to be banned in England from May

England will ban no-fault evictions starting May 1 under the Renters' Rights Act, which also eliminates fixed-term contracts and introduces clearer rules on pet ownership for renters. Approximately 4.4 million households in England rent from private landlords, impacting over 11 million people. Landlords have expressed concerns about the speed of the changes and the impact on the housing market, while some renters have welcomed the new regulations aimed at protecting tenants' rights.
