Legal update - Renters' Rights Act - England only

The Renters' Rights Act has become law (having received Royal Assent on 27 October 2025) and will affect Assured Shorthold Tenancies in England. However, the key law changes are not yet active. The commencement date for the first elements of the Act to be implemented is 1 May 2026.

The first phase beginning 1 May 2026 will include the automatic conversion of pre-existing fixed-term 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 (available in March 2026) explaining the reforms, on or before 31 May 2026.

A Deed Poll is a legal 'instrument' used to formally record a change of name.

In England and Wales, a Deed Poll is commonly used by someone who wants to stop using their former name and adopt a new one. Traditionally executed as a deed, it records a person's formal declaration and commitment to do something. The purpose of a change-of-name Deed Poll is to record a person's formal undertaking concerning their name, not to compel them to adopt a new one.

Technically speaking, a Deed Poll can be used for purposes other than changing a name. However, in everyday usage, the term is most commonly associated with officially documenting a change of name...

The requirements vary depending on the property's location, the type of tenancy and whether it is, for example, a house in multiple occupation (HMO). The following checklist focuses on England; landlords in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland should check their respective rules...

Following the enactment of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, the default tenancy for most private residential lettings in England is an Assured Periodic Tenancy (APT), referred to in the legislation as a ‘section 4A assured tenancy’. If you are intending to let a residential property, it is highly likely that this will be the type of tenancy you create.

An Assured Periodic Tenancy gives the tenant the right to exclusive possession of the property until the tenancy is lawfully terminated by either party, provided that the appropriate notice and legal procedures are followed. Unlike a fixed-term tenancy, an APT has no predetermined end date and continues periodically until it is brought to an end in accordance with the law...
