The new Renters’ Rights Act 2025 came into force on 1 May 2026 in England and introduces major legal changes for private landlords. Councils can now issue civil penalties of up to £40,000 for serious or repeat breaches, making it more important than ever to ensure your tenancy processes are fully compliant.
Landlords should now:
* Review all tenancy agreements
* Stop using fixed-term AST templates
* Ensure every tenant receives a copy of the Renters’ Rights Act information sheet
* Keep written records of all notices and communications
* Ensure rent increases follow the correct legal process
* Avoid informal eviction discussions
* Carefully document legitimate grounds before serving notice
We are here to help you stay compliant and avoid unnecessary fines.
