隨著英國住房市場長期居高不下，租屋成為越來越多英國家庭及年輕人不得不的選擇。2025年全新《租客權益法案》（Renters’ Rights Bill）即將上路，其內容和對房東房客的影響備受關注。本篇文章將帶你深入了解這項劃時代立法，讓你清楚掌握未來租賃市場新規則與自身權利。
1. 背景：為何英國租屋權益亟需改革？
過去多年，英國租屋市場困擾不斷，包括租金無上限飆漲、房東隨意終止合約（Section 21 “無過失逐客令”）、租屋品質低落及押金糾紛等。加上生活成本危機（Cost of living crisis）和社會住宅短缺，促使政府加速檢討租客保障政策。
2. 2025年新法案重點
（一）終結無過失驅逐（Abolition of “no-fault” evictions）
新法案規定，房東不得再因無過失理由（Section 21）單方面終止租約，租戶只要遵守合約，就可安心長住，驅離須有合法和具體理由。
（二）租金管理機制更嚴格
針對過去租金年年暴漲，新法案要求租金調整需符合市場客觀標準，且須提前通知與書面說明，防止惡意哄抬租金。
（三）押金與保證金規範更透明
押金管理更加透明，規定房東必須將押金存至政府認證的第三方機構。退租時，若無損壞與欠租，押金必須在14天內全數返還。
（四）必須保障基礎住屋品質
新法專門強化「基本生活水準」（Decent Homes Standard），強制房東改善漏水、發霉、暖氣設備等硬體問題，否則租客有權申訴並獲賠。
（五）審慎規範寵物禁令
新法強調，除非有正當理由，房東不得隨意拒絕租戶飼養寵物。這對於毛小孩家庭是一大福音。
3. 對租屋族的正面影響
- 居住更有保障：長期租屋族終於能夠擁有穩定住所，減少搬家帶來的壓力與開銷。
- 生活品質提升：基礎設施問題不再拖延處理，住戶舒適度大增。
- 租屋糾紛減少：有明確法律可依循，解決衝突更簡明。
4. 對房東的提醒
新法保障租戶同時，也強調房東須善盡通知、保修與合約管理等責任。違法者可能面臨罰款與追訴，建議房東定期檢查合約與屋況。
2025年英國《租客權益法案》象徵租賃市場一大里程碑。無論你是租屋族或者房東，都必須主動更新法律知識，才能保障自身利益，共創更和諧的住房環境。
