What does the Renters’ Rights Act mean for my tenancy?

Key points to cover:

1. Your tenancy does not need to be re-signed

• Existing tenancies continue automatically

• Nothing you’ve already paid is changed

2. Tenancies become more flexible

• From 1 May 2026, tenancies operate on a periodic basis

• Tenants can give notice in line with the new rules

3. Rent changes are more regulated

• Rent cannot be increased without proper notice

• There are clear rules on how and when this can happen

4. Evictions must follow clear legal grounds

• “No-fault” evictions are removed

• Landlords must rely on specific legal grounds

5. What to expect from us

• You’ll receive official government information

• We’ll continue to manage your tenancy under the law

• No immediate action is required from you
