About this episode

This episode discusses the new Renters Rights Act coming into force and what landlords must do to comply and avoid fines.

The Renters Rights Act comes into force on 1 May 2026 giving more rights to millions of residential tenants, and imposing more legislation on landlords. Watch video - What Landlords MUST Do THIS MONTH To Avoid A £7000 Fine Landlords must give the government Renters Rights Information Sheet 2026 to all tenants before the end of May or risk a fine of up to £7000. You can download the official PDF document on the government website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-renters-rights-act-information-sheet-2026 You must serve the actual document to your tenants, in person, by post or email, and not just send them the link. Landlords should keep a record and obtain a receipt or acknowledgement or proof of service. Solicitors have reported a wave of Section 21 notices being served on tenants prior to the deadline when ‘no fault evictions’ will no longer apply, according to the Guardian. #propertyinvestment #section24landlordtax #moneytips #buytoletlandlord #section21eviction #rentersrightsact2026
