The Renters’ Rights Bill is scheduled to return to the House of Lords on 22 October for final approval before it is set to become law.

It has now concluded the ‘ping pong’ phase – a process in which the Lords and Commons exchange the bill back and forth to resolve any remaining disagreements on amendments.

While peers did put forward further changes, it has now been confirmed that no major amendments will be adopted at this stage, especially after the government previously rejected all proposed revisions from the Lords.

Royal Assent – the formal step required for the bill to become law – is likely to be granted within the next few weeks.
