01 / How it works
Why it matters in 2026.
Built on the Renters' Rights Act 2026 commencement schedule and existing landlord rules.
The Renters' Rights Act 2026 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 of 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/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.
