Renters' Right Act 2026
The Renters’ Rights Act is now in force. Section 21 is gone. Tenancies are periodic. The rules around possession, rent increases and tenant rights have changed — permanently. We’ve pulled the essentials into a plain-English guide so you know exactly where you stand.
What the Renters' Rights Act 2026 means for landlords
The Act came into force on 1 May 2026 and represents the biggest reform of the private rented sector in a generation. Every assured shorthold tenancy has automatically converted to an Assured Periodic Tenancy — fixed terms and annual renewals no longer exist.
The headline change is the abolition of Section 21. "No-fault" possession is gone, replaced by a reformed Section 8 grounds system that requires landlords to build court-ready evidence from the start of any tenancy issue. Possession is still very much achievable — but it now turns on documentation, not discretion.
Rent increases are restricted to once a year via a prescribed notice, with tenants able to challenge increases at the First-tier Tribunal. Bidding wars are prohibited, advance rent demands are capped, and new anti-discrimination provisions protect families and tenants in receipt of benefits.
Whether you let a single property or manage a wider portfolio, the operational reality of being a landlord has shifted — from onboarding and arrears handling to disputes, deposits and planning ahead for possession.
Our Landlord Guide 2026 walks you through every key change in plain English, with the deadlines, evidence requirements and practical steps you need to stay on the right side of the new regime.

Customers Say
Absolute Living manage my property and I have been really pleased with the service they offer. You deal with the same person throughout the process and we managed to secure Rent Guarantee insurance at a low price, receive monthly statements by email and no contact directly from the tenants. Ten out of ten! I would definitely recommend.
Found a property – they took property off market, pushed our referencing along quickly, ensured flat was professionally cleaned and inventory provided before move in. Sounds simple but not always like this! Thank you.
I have used Absolute Living for 5 years and must say they have been excellent. They have found really good tenants quickly; issues are sorted out promptly and efficiently and they have generally been a pleasure to deal with. Absolute Living have been extremely fair and efficient when renewing leases, changing individual tenants & sorting out paperwork, coming out and doing rent evaluations, and just giving good advice on anything from the smallest things up to quite significant changes – I really cannot fault both the service and the way they do business.
I highly recommend Absolute Living as a company both for tenants and for Landlords like myself. I use no other agent now. They have found excellent tenants with great references for seven of my properties. I would never have been able to have got such good rents if I had marketed the properties on my own. They are a pleasure to do business with and are honest, friendly, hard working, considerate to tenants, pro-active, and reliable. They have also been very helpful in sorting out the rare issues that do crop up and in suggesting ideas that have increased tenant satisfaction and improved my properties. I only wish all agencies could be as good as them.
Absolute Living are a pleasure to deal with. The team have been very responsive to all queries. I’ve found all property maintenance requests are promptly noted, quoted for and repaired. Contracts and paperwork is handled quickly, check-in and check-out procedures are straight-forward. I would definitely recommend them.
