Private Rental Decent Homes Standard
| Infosheet
Big changes are coming to the private rented sector, and this time it’s not just social housing under the microscope. The government’s proposed Private Rental Decent Homes Standard will, for the first time, apply legally enforceable quality standards to private rental homes in England.
With consultation now open and a phased rollout on the horizon, this is more than just another policy update. It represents a significant shift in expectations for everyone involved in the sector.
For letting agents, it means new responsibilities to ensure properties meet the required standards. Landlords will need to review property conditions sooner rather than later to comply with the new rules. For tenants, it marks a major step forward in rights and protections.
