The law is changing.
Is your portfolio ready?
Verilet provides portfolio landlords across south England with professional property management and full compliance with the Renters' Rights Act. We handle everything — so you don't have to worry about getting it wrong.
Deadline: 31 May 2026 — Landlords must issue the government information sheet to all existing tenants or face a fine of up to £7,000 per offence.
What changes from 1 May 2026
No-fault evictions abolished
Section 21 ends. You must now provide a legal reason to regain possession of your property.
Fixed-term tenancies scrapped
All tenancies become open-ended periodic agreements. No more fixed end dates.
Rent increases capped to once a year
You must use a formal Section 13 notice and give at least two months’ advance warning.
Bidding wars banned
You must advertise a set price and cannot accept or encourage offers above it.
Deposit rules tightened
Maximum of one month’s rent upfront. No deposits over this amount permitted.
The Renters’ Rights Act is the most significant reform to the private rented sector since 1988. Verilet was built to help landlords navigate it correctly and professionally manage what comes next.
Exactly what is changing and why it matters.
The Renters’ Rights Act introduces sweeping changes to how tenancies work. Here is a plain English summary of the four things every landlord needs to understand before 1 May 2026.
Section 21 is abolished
You can no longer ask a tenant to leave without giving a legal reason. Instead you must serve a Section 8 notice and demonstrate valid grounds such as rent arrears or antisocial behaviour.
Periodic tenancies only
All existing fixed-term tenancy agreements convert automatically to periodic assured tenancies on 1 May 2026. There is nothing you need to sign but there are things you need to send to tenants.
Government information sheet required
Every existing tenant must receive a copy of the official government information sheet by 31 May 2026. Failure to send this is a criminal offence carrying a maximum fine of £7,000.
More changes coming in Phase 2
From late 2026, landlords must register on the new national Private Rented Sector database and join the Private Landlord Ombudsman scheme. Verilet will handle both for managed clients.
