๐จ Important update for landlords and renters!
The government has announced further changes under the Rentersโ Rights Act, bringing stronger protections for renters and new requirements for landlords.
๐ข A new national landlord registration service will begin rolling out from 15th December 2026, starting in the West Midlands and expanding across England over the following 12 months.
For landlords, registration will become a legal requirement, with registration numbers eventually needing to appear on property adverts.
For renters, the new system is intended to provide greater transparency and confidence when choosing a property and landlord.
There are also planned changes to how rent increase challenges are handled, with the Valuation Office taking on responsibility for initial rent determinations in England in the future.
As a letting agent, we believe keeping landlords and tenants informed about these changes is essential.
