Majority of Tenants Unaware of Renters Rights Act, Survey Finds

A recent survey has revealed that 69% of private sector tenants in England are either unaware of or do not understand the Renters Rights Act. The survey was conducted just before the Act’s implementation in May, with results released today.

This finding highlights a significant gap in tenant awareness regarding recent legislative changes. The results may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks who are responsible for ensuring compliance and communicating legal updates to tenants.
