01 / How it works
Why it matters in 2026.
Built on the Renters' Rights Act 2025 commencement schedule and the existing landlord rules.
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 is the biggest restructuring of the private rented sector in 30 years. Section 21 "no-fault" eviction is gone. Possession now runs through a grounds-based framework. Rent increases are capped to once per year via Section 13. Every named tenant must receive an Information Sheet by 31 May 2026 or you face a £7,000 fine per breach. On top of all that, MTD for Income Tax kicks in for landlords with property income over £50,000 from April 2026.
This check runs you through twelve yes or no questions covering every layer of the new framework plus the standard landlord obligations (deposit protection, EPC, Right to Rent, HMO licensing). Three minutes. Per-question gap report. No data leaves your browser.

This compliance check is built on the Renters' Rights Act 2025 commencement schedule current as of April 2026. Specific commencement dates for individual provisions (PRS Database, decent homes, Awaab's Law for the PRS) are still being finalised by statutory instrument. The 31 May 2026 Information Sheet deadline is fixed. Educational tool, not legal advice. For high-stakes decisions (possession, rent increase challenges, licensing disputes) consult a qualified housing solicitor or your local National Residential Landlords Association branch.
