Renters' Rights Act

The commencement date for the first elements of the Act to be implemented was 1 May 2026.

The first phase beginning 1 May 2026 includes the automatic conversion of pre-existing fixed-term Assured Shorthold Tenancies to Periodic Tenancies. Landlords with pre-existing written tenancy agreements will have to provide tenants with a copy an Information Sheet published by the government explaining the reforms, on or before 31 May 2026.

Section 21 Notices are abolished from 1 May 2026. However, any Section 21 notice served before 1 May 2026 remains valid until it expires (six months from service) or until the tenant vacates.
