Millions of tenants could be forced to move home, despite the promised work protection, says the campaign participants, as new research increases the high price due to the huge rent.
More than two -thirds of tenants say they really (34 %) or (34 %) will need to move home if a rent of £ 110 is shown, according to a survey from the tenant reform coalition (RRC).
During the investigation, the Labor Rights Act, which is expected to be adopted later, will be adopted later this year. The legislation will revoke the reports of the 21 chapters of 21 of the “no guilt” eviction, as well as to protect the tribunals from the unjustified increase in the lease.
However, the RRC says it is not far enough, emphasizing that the increase of £ 110 increases by 7.9 per cent compared to the average rent, and as the current average rent is approaching, 7.5 per cent.
This means that the tribunals are unlikely to be able to provide proper protection against “posterior eviction” during the lease rise, which the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local authorities say they should do so.

In addition, group studies show that the average tribunal decision made in 2025 In the first half of the 19th century, tenants increased more than £ 240 per month from the rent.
The survey also reveals that a major impact, even if the market rate may increase on tenants, an increase in lease market after a year in a row during a row of pandemic and living crisis costs.
Approximately 85 percent. The tenants said they would need to change their costs to increase the rent to £ 110. 32 percent of them said they could reduce minor costs, and 24 % He said they would need to reduce the essentials.
Another 14 percent said they would be forced to use savings or borrow money, and 13 percent said they would not have the opportunity to give rise.
Only 14 percent of tenants said they would be able to afford to increase without changing their expenses.

RRC director Tom Darling said the Government’s Law Law is “long overdue”, adding that he “will give tenants more rights and protection and should help increase the standards of the dwelling.”
He added: “But the Rise Rise eviction gap is a serious gap in the legislation. Even after the abolition of 21 chapters, our research shows that as many as a third of the tenants will still face their homes and communities, increasing their rent, and landlords will be able to use the rental hikes they know that tenants cannot afford to threaten or scratch.
“The top boundary of the lease increase would be easy to implement, return the money to the tenants’ pockets and give them real long -term safety at home.”
The housing, community and local government spokesman said: “The draft law on the rights of tenants of the Oriental tenants will ensure that landlords will only be able to increase the rent once a year to the market rate, and tenants will be able to challenge the unreasonable increase in the lease through the first pillar tribunal.
“This will prevent unscrupulous landlords using rental increases as a rear -eviction measure, while ensuring that the rent is increased to the correct rate.”
