New research from the TDS Charitable Foundation shows that almost seven in ten renters either haven’t heard of the Renters’ Rights Act or don’t know what it means for them.

Living in a warm and energy efficient home is so important to our health and wellbeing. It lowers the risk of illness, reduces the stress of high energy bills and plays a role in tackling the climate crisis.  

The majority of tenants in rental properties (55%) now have smart meters, new research shows. Findings from our 2025 Voice of the Landlord and Voice of the Tenant surveys shows they are the third-commonest energy efficiency measure installed in rental properties (after insulation and more efficient gas boilers). Just under half of all landlords have installed them. Another 41% say they will prioritise this energy efficiency measure in future.
