The Renters' Rights Act comes into force

World at One

Available for 29 days

It's been hailed as the biggest change to renting in a generation, but not everyone is happy. We speak to the Director of Renters' Reform Coalition and the National Residential Landlords Association. Also on The World at One, a man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, north London on Wednesday. Labour peer Lord Alf Dubs issues a grave warning about the rise of antisemitism in Britain. And, we're on board the train from Settle to Carlisle as it celebrates 150 years since its first passenger service.
