The Renters' Rights Act takes effect May 1st, ending Section 21 evictions and introducing rent controls, with landlords responding by issuing pre-emptive evictions and raising rents, while some are exiting the market entirely.
Investor Relevance
Critical for all residential property investors as it fundamentally changes tenancy management, removes no-fault evictions, caps rent increases, and may reduce rental supply while increasing compliance costs and reducing landlord control over properties.
