COUNCILS will oversee new rules - which include fines ranging from £7,000 to £40,000 on landlords breaking the law - when new legislation giving renters more protection comes in next year.
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 introduces significant reforms to enhance tenant protections, abolish no-fault evictions and establish fairer rental practices in England and is set to take effect from May 2026.
A Calderdale councillor asked senior politicians if her authority would be ready to take up the new responsibilities which are heading its way.
Clr Christine Prashad (Lib Dem, Greetland and Stainland) said the legislation stated councils will be responsible for overseeing the new rules.
