Renters' Rights Act Resource Hub
Understanding the Renters' Rights Act
The private rented sector is undergoing its biggest reform in decades. The Renters' Rights Act introduces significant changes designed to improve security for tenants while ensuring landlords can continue to manage their properties effectively.
At Accommodate Management, we are committed to helping landlords and tenants understand these changes and navigate their responsibilities with confidence.
Key Changes for Landlords
The legislation introduces:
✓ The abolition of Section 21 "no-fault" evictions
✓ Periodic tenancies replacing fixed-term Assured Shorthold Tenancies
✓ New rules governing rent increases
✓ Stronger protections for tenants
✓ New requirements regarding pets in rental properties
✓ Enhanced enforcement and compliance measures
✓ Greater transparency within the private rented sector
Landlords must ensure they understand their legal obligations and maintain fully compliant properties.
Key Changes for Tenants
The Act strengthens tenant rights by providing:
✓ Greater security within rented homes
✓ Protection from unfair eviction
✓ A fair process for rent increases
✓ Improved standards and accountability
✓ Enhanced rights regarding requests to keep pets
Tenants also retain responsibilities to pay rent on time, care for the property and comply with tenancy obligations.
