The Renters’ Rights Act deadline is almost here. By 31st May 2026, every landlord in England with an assured or assured shorthold tenancy created before 1st May must give each named tenant a copy of the Government’s official Information Sheet.
If you let property, this is relevant to you. The Information Sheet is only valid when downloaded directly from the Government website, and it must be served as the exact PDF, never a link to it. Send it to every named tenant, by post, by hand, or digitally.
Get it wrong and the penalty is up to £7,000 per tenancy. We’d always go further than the minimum on something this important, so serve in line with the notices clause in your own tenancy agreement, keep a dated record of how and when you served it, and save proof you control rather than relying on an inbox.
This is the first phase. Section 21 no-fault notices are now abolished, and all new tenancies are periodic. If a managing agent looks after your property, confirm they have served the sheet too, as we’ve found some are not yet aware of the requirement.
