Renters’ Rights Act
Landlords must share an information document about the Renters’ Rights Act with tenants by May, the government has said.
The state published the document today, providing tenants with advice on what each change brought forward by the Renters’ Rights Act means for their tenancy agreement and rights.
Legally, landlords and landlord agents must share the information with tenants, either as a hard copy or attached electronically as a PDF to an email, by 31 May 2026.
The Renters’ Rights Act will take effect from 1 May, involving changes such as the scrapping of Section 21 evictions, protections against rent increases and allowing tenants to keep pets.
