Renters' Rights Act 2025 Compliance Checklist

The Renters' Rights Act went live in May 2026, the biggest change to private renting in England in over 30 years. Section 21 is gone, every tenancy is now periodic, pets can't be unreasonably refused, and Awaab's Law puts hard deadlines on repairs. Miss one requirement and a possession notice can be thrown out, or you can face a Rent Repayment Order.

This free one-page checklist gives you:

• The 7 changes now in force and the exact action each one demands
• The 8-point "valid tenancy" pre-flight, the documents that keep an eviction enforceable
• The Section 8 grounds matrix that replaced Section 21, with notice periods
• What's coming next (PRS Database, Ombudsman, Making Tax Digital)
