Majority of Renters Unaware of Renters’ Rights Act, Survey Finds
A recent survey by the TDS Charitable Foundation has revealed that 69% of private renters in England have either never heard of the Renters’ Rights Act or do not know what it means. The research was conducted before the Act’s implementation began on 1 May.
According to the survey, only 32% of respondents said they had heard of the legislation and understood at least some aspects of it. The findings highlight a significant gap in awareness among private renters regarding the new legal framework.
For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these results may indicate a need for increased communication and education about the Renters’ Rights Act to ensure tenants are informed about their rights and responsibilities under the new law.
