The Renters’ Rights Act has officially been implemented, bringing in changes that are designed to make renting fairer.
Here’s what it means for you:
👉 No more fixed end dates - your tenancy continues until you or your landlord decide to end it.
👉 You have more security - no fault evictions have been removed, which means landlords need a valid reason to ask you to leave.
👉 Rent increases are limited - your rent can now only be increased once a year.
👉 You can’t be asked for large rent payments upfront - landlords can only ask for up to one month’s rent in advance.
👉 Pet friendly homes - you now have the right to request a pet, and landlords must have a valid reason to refuse.
👉 You have more flexibility too - if you want to leave, you can give two months’ notice at any point.
Overall, this is about giving renters more stability and more control over their living situation. If you need support in securing your next tenancy, head to the link in bio…
