🏠 Big changes to renters’ rights are now in force!
From 1 May 2026, new laws are giving private renters across England more security, fairness, and peace of mind.
✅ No more “no‑fault” evictions: landlords must have a valid legal reason to end a tenancy
✅ Rolling tenancies: fixed‑term contracts are gone, giving renters more flexibility
✅ Fairer rent increases: rent can usually only go up once a year, and unfair rises can be challenged
✅ No discrimination: it’s now illegal to refuse tenants because they have children or receive benefits
✅ Pets: renters can request a pet and landlords must consider this fairly
✅ Upfront rent capped: no large advance rent demands
These changes aim to help renters feel more secure in their homes while still being fair to responsible landlords.
If you rent privately, it’s a good time to check how the new rules affect you.
