It's Friday, and before you head into the weekend we're answering the questions that landed in our DMs this month.

🔑 For tenants:

âť“ Can my landlord refuse to let me have a pet?
âś… Not outright, no. Under the Renters' Rights Act, landlords must consider any reasonable pet request and can only refuse with good reason. They can require pet damage insurance as a condition.

âť“ What should I do if my landlord won't carry out repairs?
âś… Start by putting your request in writing, email is fine. If nothing happens within a reasonable timeframe, you can contact your local council's environmental health team. You also now have stronger rights to escalate via the new Ombudsman scheme.

âť“ Can I be asked to leave now that fixed terms are gone?
âś… Only if a specific legal ground applies, and your landlord must give you at least 4 months' notice for most grounds. You cannot simply be asked to leave without reason anymore.

🏠 For landlords:

âť“ Do I need to update my tenancy agreements now the law has changed?
âś… Yes. All new tenancies should reflect the new periodic structure. If you're unsure whether your paperwork is up to date, speak to your letting agent or a property solicitor.

âť“ I missed the 31st May Information Sheet deadline, what now?
âś… Issue it immediately and keep a record of delivery. While the deadline has passed, taking swift action demonstrates good faith and reduces your risk of a fine.

- Renters' Rights Act Information Sheet: issued to ALL existing tenants by 31st May 2026

⚠️ Attention landlords, you have until 31st May to do this or face a fine.

Under the Renters’ Rights Act, all landlords with existing tenancies (contracts created before 1st May 2026) MUST provide the official Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet to each named tenant individually.

That means:

- If you have 2 tenants, send it to both separately
- Email AND post is recommended, keep proof of delivery
- Hand delivery to the property is even better
- Failure to do so could result in a fine of up to ÂŁ7,000

This is not something to leave until the last minute.

Not sure if this applies to you, or need help managing compliance? We can help. Get in touch today, link in bio.

Good properties are still going quickly. Here’s how to make your application the one that gets picked. ✅

In a competitive rental market, these small things make a big difference:

- Have your documents ready: ID, proof of income, references
- Know your credit score before you apply, no surprises
- Be responsive, reply to calls and emails quickly
- Write a short intro about yourself, landlords are human too
- Be honest about your situation, it builds trust from the start

Bonus tip: Working with a reputable agent (hi đź‘‹) means your application gets in front of the right landlords faster.

It’s the question every landlord is asking right now. Let’s be honest about the answer.

With the Renters’ Rights Act now in force, rising costs, and headlines about a “landlord exodus”, it’s natural to wonder if buy-to-let still makes sense.

Here’s our take:
âś… For professionally managed, well-maintained properties, absolutely yes
âś… Demand still outstrips supply across most of the UK
✅ Rents forecast to grow 2–2.5% nationally this year, with northern cities outperforming
âś… Landlords who adapt to the new rules will be well positioned

The landlords who struggle will be those who treat it passively. The ones who thrive will be those with the right support, right compliance, and right team.

What’s your take, still bullish on buy-to-let? Let us know below.

Not every home is as good as it looks on the listing. Here’s what to check before you sign anything.

5 red flags to watch for at a property viewing:

đźš© Damp patches or mould around windows and walls
đźš© Evasive answers when you ask about maintenance history
🚩 Pressure to sign quickly “before someone else takes it”
đźš© Missing safety certificates (gas, electric, EPC)
đźš© No written tenancy agreement offered upfront

Your home should feel safe and secure. You deserve a landlord and agent who are transparent from day one.

There’s a LOT of misinformation floating around about renting in the UK. Let’s set the record straight.

❌ MYTH: Landlords can evict tenants whenever they want
✅ FACT: Since May 2026, Section 21 no-fault evictions are gone. Landlords can only repossess for specific legal reasons, and must give 4 months’ notice for most grounds.

❌ MYTH: You need a perfect credit score to rent
✅ FACT: A less-than-perfect credit history doesn’t automatically disqualify you. Context matters, a good agent will work with you and the landlord to find a solution.

❌ MYTH: Landlords can keep your deposit for any reason
âś… FACT: Deposits must be held in a government-approved scheme and can only be deducted for genuine damages, unpaid rent or specific tenancy breaches.

❌ MYTH: A letting agent just takes a fee and does nothing
âś… FACT: A good letting agent handles everything, referencing, compliance, maintenance, rent collection, legal updates and much more.

❌ MYTH: Renting is just dead money
✅ FACT: Renting offers flexibility, lower upfront costs and freedom from maintenance responsibilities. It’s a valid, smart choice for millions of people.

Big news for renters. The Renters’ Rights Act is now in force, and it changes a LOT.

Here’s what YOU now have the right to as a tenant in England:

âś… Security. No more being asked to leave without reason (no-fault evictions are gone)
âś… Stability. Your tenancy is now rolling, so no more dreaded fixed-term end dates
✅ Pets. You can now formally request to keep a pet (and landlords can’t just say no)
âś… Fair rent. Increases are limited to once a year, and you can challenge unfair hikes
âś… Transparency. Rental listings must show a clear, fixed price. No bidding wars

Renting in 2026 looks very different to a few years ago, and that’s a good thing.
