Renters Rights Act Information 2026 – Click Here
The Government’s Renters’ Rights Act is introducing major changes to the UK rental market, with the first phase coming into effect from May 2026.
If you are a landlord in Solihull, Knowle, Dorridge, Shirley or surrounding areas, it’s important to understand how these updates will affect your property and tenancies.
At Love Property Co, we specialise in supporting landlords across Solihull with expert advice, compliance and full property management services.
Key Changes for Landlords – Phase One (From 1st May 2026)
The first stage of the Renters’ Rights Act focuses on tenancy reform and will include:
Transition to periodic tenancies (rolling contracts)
Restrictions on rent in advance for tenants
A ban on rental bidding wars
New rules for rent increases via Section 13 notices
Stronger tenant anti-discrimination laws
New rights for tenants to request pets in rental properties
These changes will affect how landlords manage tenancies, set rents and interact with tenants across the private rented sector.
Phase Two – Additional Landlord Regulations (Late 2026)
Further changes expected later in 2026 include:
A new Landlord Ombudsman scheme
A Private Rented Sector (PRS) Database for landlords and properties
These measures aim to increase transparency and accountability within the UK rental market.
Future Changes – Phase Three
Looking ahead, further legislation is expected (no earlier than 2035), including:
The Decent Homes Standard for rental properties
Awaab’s Law, focusing on property conditions and tenant safety
What Landlords Need to Do Now
As part of the upcoming changes, landlords must ensure that the Government’s official Renters’ Rights information guide is issued to all tenants and guarantors by 31st May 2026.
If you are a landlord working with Love Property Co, we will handle this process for you and ensure full compliance.
