Renters’ Rights Act 2025 – A guide for Landlords

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has now completed its passage through Parliament and received Royal Assent as of the 27th October 2025. However, we have been awaiting implementation dates for certain parts of this Act, which have now been received.

The following document contains details supplied by The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Governments roadmap in “Implementing The Renters Right Act”, along with further information relating to certain parts of the Act. We have not covered every part of the RRA only the areas that will have the greater impact.

Taken from the foreword of the MHCLG booklet:

“The move to a new system of periodic tenancies is at the heart of the Act. Once switched on, it will mean the end of fixed-term tenancies and the long-overdue abolition of section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions. In the first phase of our reforms, we will implement the new tenancy regime. This will apply to both new and existing tenancies and will come into force on 1 May 2026”
