Important changes are coming into effect from 1 May 2026 as part of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. These new rules apply to many privately rented homes.  

To help you understand what is changing and what your rights will be from 1 May, we created an official information sheet summarising the key updates. 

We want to take a proactive and supportive approach, ensuring all our tenants feel informed, prepared and confident about what these changes mean. The information sheet covers areas such as: 

• Changes to fixed‑term tenancies 
• Rent increases and the new legal process 
• When and how landlords can seek possession 
• Your rights if you wish to end your tenancy 
• New rights relating to having a pet in your home 
• Information for students in private rented accommodation 

Please take a few moments to read through the below guide. If, after reviewing it, you have any questions or would like further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us — we’re here to help.
