Renters’ Rights Act

What Landlords and Tenants Need to Know

The Renters’ Rights Act has introduced major changes to private renting in England from 1 May 2026, including the end of Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, new rules on rent increases, rolling tenancies, limits on rent in advance, and stronger rights for tenants with children, pets, or benefits. 

At Casa Sales and Lettings, we help landlords stay compliant while giving tenants clear, professional guidance throughout the rental process.

What’s Changing?

Under the new rules:

• Landlords must have a valid legal reason to regain possession.

• Most fixed-term tenancies are replaced by rolling periodic tenancies.

• Rent increases are limited to once per year using the correct notice process.

• Tenants have stronger rights to request pets.

• Blanket bans on tenants with children or those receiving benefits are not permitted.

• Landlords and agents must provide tenants with the official government information sheet. 

Support for Landlords

We help landlords understand their obligations, update tenancy processes, prepare compliant documentation, manage rent reviews, and handle possession matters correctly.

Support for Tenants

We are committed to making renting clear, fair, and transparent. As a tenant, you will receive the official government Renters’ Rights Information Sheet, which outlines your key protections. Please see link below:
