Renters’ Rights Act has now passed into law and will begin to take effect from 1 May 2026.
This legislation introduces significant changes to the private rented sector. To assist you, we have set out below a summary of the key points and how they may affect your tenancy and future management decisions.
Please note that this guidance is intended to be helpful and practical. If you have any specific questions, our team would be pleased to assist you further.
What happens to existing tenancies?
All current Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) will automatically convert to Assured Tenancies once the Act is implemented.
In practical terms, any fixed end date stated within an existing tenancy agreement will no longer apply. For example, if a tenancy was agreed from 15 July 2025 to 14 July 2026, the end date will no longer be valid after implementation.
Instead, the tenancy will continue until either the landlord or the tenant brings it to an end in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
How can a landlord end a tenancy?
Landlords will still be able to regain possession of their property; however, a valid legal reason will be required.
Valid grounds include (but are not limited to):
Our experienced team can manage the preparation and service of Section 8 Notices on your behalf.
How much notice must a landlord give?
How much notice must a tenant give?
Tenants will be required to give a minimum of 2 months’ notice to end their tenancy.
The notice must expire at the end of a rent period.
This rule will apply to all tenancies from 1 May 2026, regardless of whether a fixed term was agreed prior to that date.
Rent increases
Landlords will still be able to increase rent once per year to market rent by serving a Section 13 Notice with at least 2 months’ notice.
Please note:
We can assist with rent reviews and the service of Section 13 Notices.
What if a tenant disputes a rent increase?
If agreement cannot be reached:
Recent amendments allow the government to decide whether the revised rent is payable from the notice expiry date or from the Tribunal decision date.
Advertising and rent in advance
Any rent paid in advance before the Act comes into force is not expected to need to be refunded.
Student lets
Landlords will retain the ability to regain possession of HMOs let to full-time students where the tenancy aligns with the academic year.
Pets
Landlords will not be required to automatically accept pets; however, any refusal must be reasonable.
Disputes may be referred to the Ombudsman.
Landlords will not be permitted to require tenants to obtain or pay for pet insurance.
Ombudsman and landlord register
Landlords will be required to:
Further details are awaited, and these schemes are unlikely to be in place by the implementation date.
Property standards
Further guidance is expected on enhanced property standards. The introduction of Awaab’s Law is expected to require prompt and effective action in relation to damp, mould, and condensation, ensuring properties are safe for occupation.
Our support
We will continue to keep you updated as further details become available. Our team is on hand to help you navigate these changes and ensure ongoing compliance while maximising the performance of your property investment.
