Rental Reform Update

The UK Government has released its roadmap outlining the implementation of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, with Phase 1 beginning on 1 May 2026.

No new Section 21 notices can be served after this date, although any issued beforehand will remain valid until expiry or the tenant leaves. All existing and new private tenancies will convert to the new system from the same date.

Phase 1 will also introduce a cap on rent in advance, anti-discrimination measures, the ban on rental bidding, rent increases via Section 13, and new rules on pets. Landlords will also be required to issue a written statement to tenants, while existing agreements will remain in place.

Phases 2 and 3 will follow, with the Landlord Ombudsman and PRS Database rolling out from late 2026. The Decent Homes Standard and Awaab’s Law are planned for consultation in the mid-2030s.

Testimonials

Joe and Keileigh have been very professional and with excellent communications throughout. They listened and acted to suggestions as well as providing advice and support. The unique difference to other agents is they were always available, working well beyond office hours as they really put their heart and soul into their business. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell their home.

The 5 stars say it, Joe and Keileigh were brilliant from the initial phone call to handing over the keys. Nothing was a bother even opening the property on an evening (I work long hours). Everything is as it should be and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Target property NE whether you're buying or selling. Great team, Thank you.
