Renters’ Rights Act – Insolvency and Property Recovery

The Renters’ Rights Act marks the biggest change to renters’ rights in England since the Housing Act of 1998.

Our Real Estate Dispute Resolution team are delivering a series of webinars in early 2026 to help professionals understand their obligations and options under the new regime.

This webinar will be hosted by our Restructuring and Insolvency team and is designed for those involved in insolvency work and property recovery. Kate Hallifax and Tahlia Woollatt, Partners in our Real Estate Dispute Resolution team, will take attendees through key elements of the new legislation, including:

•  How the abolition of Section 21 impacts enforcement and possession during insolvency
•  The revised Section 8 grounds and the impact on timelines for asset recovery
•  Managing tenant arrears under the new rules
•  Interacting with landlord obligations under Awaab’s Law and the Decent Homes Standard
•  Risk mitigation strategies for handling distressed portfolios.
