The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) and the Energy Saving Trust have urged the UK government to establish a clear roadmap for achieving 2030 energy efficiency targets within the private rented sector. 

Following a parliamentary roundtable, these organizations warned that a lack of regulatory certainty could cause a surge in demand near the deadline, which may overwhelm installers, supply chains, and local council enforcement teams. To facilitate these upgrades, experts recommended providing accessible finance, increasing the pool of skilled tradespeople through training, and offering impartial guidance via the proposed Warm Homes Agency. 

Additional calls for support include simplifying redress processes, increasing resources for council enforcement, and providing tailored assistance for tenants at risk of fuel poverty or those with disabilities.
