⚖️ Rental Discrimination – Know the Rules

Under the Renters’ Rights Act, it is illegal for landlords and agents to discriminate against tenants in receipt of benefits or those with children.

✅ What Counts as Discrimination:
• Withholding property information or availability
• Stopping viewings
• Refusing to grant a tenancy

💡 Important:
Landlords can still check income, affordability, and references to ensure a tenancy is sustainable, but cannot base decisions on children or benefits status.

📝 How to Protect Yourself:
• Consider tenants’ individual circumstances
• Explain rejections clearly in writing (e.g., property too small or rent exceeds benefits)
• This helps prevent potential legal challenges

⚠️ Impact on Existing Agreements:
• Mortgage/lease terms restricting tenants with children or on benefits will no longer apply once the law comes into force.
• Existing insurance policies are exempt until renewed.

At Cdk Lettings, we guide landlords to let fairly, stay compliant, and avoid legal issues under the new rules.

🏠 HMO Compliance – Keep Your Property Safe and Legal

Managing an HMO comes with extra responsibilities, but staying compliant protects your tenants and your investment. Here’s what you need to know:

🔥 Fire Safety – Every HMO must have working smoke alarms, fire doors, and a clear evacuation plan. Regular fire risk assessments are essential.

💨 Gas & Electrical Safety – Gas appliances must be checked annually, and electrical systems tested every five years to meet legal standards.

📜 Licensing – Most HMOs need a licence from your local council. This ensures the property meets safety and amenity standards, helping avoid enforcement action.

⚠️ Risks of Non-Compliance – Failing to follow HMO regulations can result in fines, rent repayment orders, or even prosecution. Local authorities can inspect your property at any time.

💡 Expert Support – At Cdk Lettings, we manage HMO compliance from start to finish. From licences and safety checks to ongoing inspections, we help landlords stay fully legal and stress-free.

📲 Call us today on 01695 227177 and let us help you keep your HMO safe and profitable.

💰 Rental Bidding & Advertising – New Rules from 1 May 2026

From 1 May 2026, landlords and letting agents are no longer be able to ask for, encourage, or accept offers higher than the advertised rent.

📌 Key Points:
• When advertising a property, the rent must be a specific amount, not a price range.
• Written adverts include online listings, printed ads, social media posts, emails, texts, or direct mail.
• Agents cannot suggest tenants should offer more than the advertised rent or act in any way that implies it.
• Any offer above the advertised rent must not be accepted.

💡 Why It Matters:
This ensures a fairer rental process, prevents bidding wars, and keeps lettings transparent for tenants.

At Cdk Lettings, we make sure your adverts and offers comply with the Renters’ Rights Act, protecting your business and giving tenants confidence in your properties.

🐾 Tenants’ Right to Have Pets – From 1 May 2026

The Renters’ Rights Act gives tenants in the private rented sector the right to request a pet. Landlords cannot unreasonably refuse and must consider each request individually.

✅ What landlords need to know:
• Tenants must make their request in writing, including details of the pet.
• Landlords have 28 days to respond in writing.
• Reasonable grounds to refuse may include: another tenant has allergies, property is too small, pet is illegal, or lease/freeholder restrictions.
• Unreasonable grounds for refusal include personal dislike of pets, previous tenants’ behaviour, or potential future risks.
• No additional pet deposit is allowed.

⚠️ If a landlord refuses unreasonably:
Tenants can challenge the decision in court or through the Landlord Ombudsman. If the refusal is deemed unreasonable, the tenant may be allowed to keep the pet.

At Cdk Lettings, we help landlords stay compliant, review pet requests, and manage communication professionally — protecting both tenants and your property.

📞 Call us today on 01695 227177 to ensure your tenancy agreements and processes are ready for this change.

💼 Rent Guarantee Insurance – A Real Success Story

We recently helped a landlord who faced a difficult tenancy situation – the tenant left owing £2,400 in rent arrears, and the property had been badly damaged, with repair costs coming to £4,250. On top of that, the property needed time to restore, meaning potential lost rent.

Thanks to rent guarantee insurance and our hands-on management, the landlord was fully covered for:
✅ Rent arrears
✅ Property damages
✅ Rent during the re-let period (£3,200)

💡 Total recovered: £9,850 – all of which would have otherwise been lost.

We worked closely with the insurance company, providing all necessary documents, including:

- Tenancy agreements
- Inventory & Schedule of Condition
- Legal notices served correctly throughout the tenancy

The insurance claim was not straightforward, but our expertise ensured the landlord got everything owed, including partial rent while the property was restored.

The result? A happy landlord and a fully compliant, lettable property – no stress, no losses.

At Cdk Lettings, we don’t just manage properties; we fight for landlords’ rights and ensure insurance claims are maximised when things go wrong.

💷 New Rent Increase Rules Are Now in Force – What Landlords Need to Know

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has introduced major changes to how and when landlords can increase rent in England.

From now on, landlords can only increase rent once every 12 months using the official Section 13 process.

🏡 What’s changed?
✅ Rent can only be increased once per year
✅ Rent increases cannot take place during the first 12 months of a tenancy
✅ All increases must be served using the new official notice procedure
✅ Tenants must receive at least two months’ notice

⚠️ Existing tenancy clauses that automatically increase rent are now unenforceable.

Under the new rules, any proposed increase must reflect the open market rental value of the property. If tenants believe the increase is too high, they can challenge it through the First-tier Tribunal.

🚫 Landlords can no longer:
❌ Increase rent multiple times per year
❌ Rely on old rent review clauses
❌ Introduce informal rent increases outside the legal process

These changes make accurate valuations and proper paperwork more important than ever.

At Cdk Lettings, we help landlords:
✔ Serve compliant rent increase notices
✔ Assess current market rents
✔ Manage tenancy changes correctly
✔ Stay fully compliant with the Renters’ Rights Act
