Section 21 is officially DEAD. As of 1 May 2026, no-fault evictions are gone in England, and 2.3 million landlords are operating under a completely new system. Swipe through to see what changed.

You can still evict, but now you need a concrete legal reason Section 8 is your only route left. Worse yet, the mandatory rent arrears threshold quietly changed from 2 months to 3 months and if a tenant pays down even a fraction of that debt right before your court hearing, Ground 8 completely fails

Out of 37 new grounds, you must master the main 3: Ground 8 (Arrears), Ground 1 (Moving in), and Ground 1A (Selling up). Because notice periods vary, a single paperwork error makes your notice completely invalid. Pristine, court-ready record keeping is your only protection.

STOP splitting your joint rental income unevenly to save on tax with your spouse! 🛑 Under UK law, you legally cannot do it without this one thing...

Most married couples or civil partners think they can just push the rent onto whoever is in the lower tax bracket. But HMRC splits jointly owned rental income 50:50 automatically. Even if you paid the entire property deposit yourself, that 50:50 default stays stuck until the proper paperwork is done.

If you want a 70:30 or 80:20 split, you have to meet three strict rules: hold the property as tenants in common, have a legal Declaration of Trust, and file Form 17 with HMRC within 60 days. Check how your property is held and if that form was actually filed!

Have you filed your Form 17 yet, or are you still relying on the 50:50 default? Drop a comment below👇

Think four quarterly updates mean you're done with your taxes for the year? Think again. 🛑 There's a hidden fifth step that could trigger an automated HMRC penalty if you miss it.

HMRC's MTD regulations mean the days of dumping a shoebox of crumpled receipts on an accountant's desk once a year are officially over. If your current software doesn't automatically map your expenses to strict HMRC categories, you're looking at manual data entry nightmares every single quarter.

Don't panic, just prepare.

We’ve mapped out the exact mistakes most property owners are making right now and how to fix them before the system goes live. Check the slides to save your calendar deadlines.

Get ahead of the rush and link an HMRC-recognized platform to your account today.

Most overseas landlords assume location decides their MTD obligations. It doesn't.
The rules split into very different scenarios depending on tax residency status, filing history, and National Insurance number and the wrong assumption can leave you non-compliant without even realising it.
Whether you're a non-UK resident, a British expat, or somewhere in between your MTD position needs to be checked, not assumed.
Not sure where you stand? RentalBux helps landlords understand and manage their MTD obligations, wherever they're based.

Assuming everything splits equally just because you're married? That default could be costing you and getting your MTD threshold calculation wrong at the same time.
HMRC's default for spouses and civil partners is a equal split on jointly owned property, regardless of actual ownership. If that reflects reality, no action needed. But if your beneficial ownership is genuinely unequal, you need to submit a Form 17 declaration to have HMRC recognise it. Without one, the equal split applies no matter what the true position is.
Under MTD, this matters more than ever. Qualifying income is based on what appears on your self-assessment tax return. If the split is wrong there, your MTD threshold calculation may be wrong too.
Get the paperwork right before your MTD obligations are assessed.
