Call for urgent court investment ahead of Renters’ Rights Act implementation
Original Article Summary
With the Renters’ Rights Act being implemented from May next year, more eviction cases could end up in court as Section 21 will no longer be an option
PropMatch Curated Analysis
Court delays for landlord repossessions have increased to 27.4 weeks, and without urgent investment in court capacity, the May 2026 Renters' Rights Act implementation will create severe bottlenecks as Section 21 evictions are abolished.
Investor Relevance
Extended possession timelines directly impact cashflow, increase void periods, and raise the financial risk of buy-to-let investments. Landlords need to factor longer recovery periods into their investment models and consider enhanced tenant screening.
