The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2022

Summary

The UK government aims to address fuel poverty and market failures in the private rented sector, where many low-income tenants reside in energy-inefficient homes. The proposed regulations will mandate landlords in England and Wales to upgrade their properties to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) band C, with a maximum expenditure of £10,000 per property. This initiative is planned for implementation, starting with new tenancies in April 2026 and extending to all tenancies by April 2028.
