🏡 Important Update for Landlords & Tenants | Renters’ Rights Act – Effective from 1st May 2026

The new UK Renters’ Rights Act is now officially in force, bringing some of the biggest changes to the private rental sector in years.

Here are some key updates landlords and tenants should know:

✔️ Section 21 “No-Fault” Evictions Abolished
Landlords can no longer use Section 21 notices to end tenancies without a legal reason.

✔️ Fixed-Term ASTs Replaced
Most Assured Shorthold Tenancies have now become Assured Periodic Tenancies (rolling monthly agreements).

✔️ Fairer Renting Rules
Landlords cannot accept rental bidding above the advertised rent and cannot unfairly refuse tenants with children or those receiving benefits.

✔️ Pets in Rental Properties
Tenants now have stronger rights to request permission for pets.

✔️ Rent in Advance Rules Changed
Landlords can only request up to one month’s rent in advance after the tenancy agreement is signed.

✔️ Mandatory Information Sheet
Landlords and letting agents must provide tenants with the new government Information Sheet by 31st May 2026.

As a professional property management company, we are here to help landlords stay fully compliant and support tenants through these important changes.

If you have questions about how the new legislation affects your property or tenancy, our team is here to help.

🚨 BIG TAX CHANGE FOR LANDLORDS 🚨

Are you ready for Making Tax Digital (MTD)?

From April 2026, HMRC is rolling out the biggest change to Self Assessment since 1997 - and it’s a game changer for the property sector.

👀 Here’s what you need to know:
✔️ If you earn £50,000+, you MUST switch to digital tax reporting
✔️ Keep digital records of income & expenses
✔️ Submit quarterly updates instead of one annual return
✔️ Use HMRC-compatible software

📅 Key deadline:
Your first reporting period runs 6 April - 5 July 2026, with submissions due by 7 August 2026.

⚠️ Good news:
No penalties for late quarterly updates in the first year (2026-27) while the system settles in.

⏳ But don’t wait…
Industry bodies warn time is running out to get compliant - and future penalties WILL apply.

💡 Bottom line:
This isn’t just a tax update - it’s a complete shift in how landlords report income.

👉 If you’re a landlord, now is the time to prepare.
