Reforms to the private-rented sector in England will come into effect from 1 May 2026, through the Renters’ Rights Act 2025.
The aim of these reforms is to provide greater stability and security for private renters.
The act will introduce new rights and responsibilities for landlords, letting agents and private renters.
The government guidance below will help landlords, tenants and housing professionals better understand the upcoming changes.

We will keep landlord and renter communities updated about this in line with the provisions of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025.

Information sheet
You must give your tenants the government’s Renters’ Rights Act information sheet by 31 May 2026.
This is to ensure they are fully informed of their rights and the changes introduced by the new legislation.
Failure to comply with this requirement can result in a fine of up to £7,000. We strongly recommend that you review your current processes and ensure that you provide all required information to your tenants.
