Are you prepared for the Renters’ Rights Act? Major changes are coming for landlords and tenants

Millions of tenants and landlords are preparing for the first phase of the Renters’ Reform Bill, due to come into force on 1st May 2026. This marks one of the most significant shifts in the private rented sector in a generation, with wide ranging implications for how tenancies are created, managed, and enforced.

In November 2025, GOV.UK published its Guide to the Renters’ Rights Act, including updated wording for new written tenancy statements. Commenting on the guidance, Eddie Hooker, Head of Redress at the Property Redress Scheme and Chief Executive of mydeposits, noted that this is the first time landlords and agents have been able to see what full compliance with the Renters’ Rights Act will look like in practice.

The GOV.UK guidance sets out the full detail behind each proposed reform. We have distilled the key points landlords need to understand, highlighting what is changing and what it means in practice.

Read on find out everything you need to know about these major changes for landlords and tenants.
