🏡 The Renters' Rights Act, it's not as bad as you think.
If you've been reading the headlines lately, you'd be forgiven for feeling a little uneasy. But for landlords who already let responsibly, the new legislation is more of a formalisation than a revolution.
Here's what's actually changed as of 1st May 2026:
✅ Section 21 (no-fault evictions) is gone — but you still have clear, valid grounds to regain your property when you genuinely need it
✅ Fixed-term tenancies are replaced by rolling periodic tenancies
✅ Rent increases are limited to once per year, at market rate
✅ Tenants can now formally request to keep pets
✅ Bidding wars are banned, advertised rent is the rent
Good landlords with good properties have always focused on finding the right tenants and maintaining strong relationships. That doesn't change.
What it does mean is that having a knowledgeable agent in your corner matters more than ever.
