The Problem
The Rules of Renting Have Changed Forever.
The Renters’ Rights Act (2025) brought an end to “no-fault” evictions, changes how you can increase rent, and introduces stricter property standards.
Abolition of Section 21
You can no longer end tenancies without specific grounds.
New Possession Grounds
Understanding the new legal pathways to reclaim your property.
Strict Compliance
Failure to adapt could lead to heavy fines or legal bans.
Urgency: The 1st May deadline has passed. Are you prepared?
Who is this for?
Whether you manage a single property or a large portfolio, our toolkit provides the clarity and legal protection you need to stay ahead of the Renters’ Rights Act.
Yes, the Renters’ Rights Act applies to almost all private residential tenancies in the UK. Whether you own a single flat or a large portfolio of houses, you are legally required to comply with the new statutory standards to ensure your business remains protected.
If you have active tenancies, the new legislation will fundamentally change how you manage them. From the abolition of 'no-fault' evictions (Section 21) to new rules on property conditions, you must update your current processes to align with the new law.
Regardless of your management style, the legal responsibility for compliance ultimately rests with the property owner. Self-managed landlords and agents both need to be fully aware of the revised possession grounds and rent increase procedures to avoid costly legal mistakes.
The deadline for full compliance is 1st May 2026. Any tenancy that continues or is renewed after this date must follow the new legal framework. Planning ahead now is the only way to ensure a smooth transition before the deadline hits.

Key Legal Requirement
The Core Changes You Must Know in 2026
End of Section 21 & New Possession Rules
Landlords are no longer able to end a tenancy without a legal reason. All possession must follow updated Section 8 grounds, including specific circumstances such as selling the property or moving back in.
Move to Periodic Tenancies
Fixed-term tenancies have been replaced with periodic agreements. This changes how tenancies are structured, how notice is given, and how landlords manage long-term occupancy.
Rent Increase Restrictions
Rent increases are limited to once per year and must follow a formal statutory process. Backdating or informal increases is no longer permitted.
Tenant Rights, Pets & Discrimination
Tenants now have stronger rights, including the ability to request pets, which landlords must not unreasonably refuse. New rules also strengthen protections against discrimination.
Future Requirements: Property Standards & Registration (Phase 3)
Further changes will be introduced in later phases, including a requirement for properties to meet the Decent Homes Standard, and for landlords to join a mandatory Ombudsman scheme and register on a national property database.
