For Landlords - Renters' Rights Act Information Sheet 2026

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 introduces significant legal changes for private landlords from 1 May 2026.

To help you stay compliant, Watsons has produced a clear and practical information sheet written specifically for landlords.

The guide outlines how the new rules affect:

  • The end of fixed‑term assured shorthold tenancies.
  • Automatic transition to rolling periodic tenancies.
  • The end of Section 21 ‘no‑fault’ evictions.
  • New requirements for Section 8 possession grounds.
  • Rent increases and the removal of rent review clauses.
  • Tenant notice rules.
  • Pet requests and how to respond.
  • Additional rules for student tenancies
  • Key deadlines that landlords must meet by 31 May 2026

Our Property Management team is here to support you through these changes and help ensure your rental properties remain compliant and protected.
