The time for talking is over and we are now fully preparing for the various stages of implementation of the Act. Over the coming months we will be posting updates and information to help you to prepare for the changes that are ahead.
The Renters' Right Acts Information Sheet 2026 has now been published and can be downloaded here.
The link below will take you to the Gov.uk page that contains all the guides that the government have put together, they are quite comprehensive and provide the answers to some of the basic elements of the legislation.
There is also a link to the new and updated documentation, such as Section 13 notices (Form 4a) for rent increases and Section 8 notices (Form 3a), although some of these are still at draught stage.
