🏠 PRIVATE RENTING HAS CHANGED: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Are you renting from a private landlord? The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has introduced important new rights and protections for tenants in England.

From 1 May 2026, changes include:

🔑 Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions have been abolished
📄 Most private tenancies are now periodic or ‘rolling’ tenancies
💷 Rent increases are limited to once a year and landlords must follow the correct legal process
🏡 Rental bidding has been banned, so landlords and letting agents cannot ask for or accept offers above the advertised rent
💰 New rules also restrict landlords from requiring large amounts of rent in advance.

Knowing your rights can help you understand what your landlord can and cannot do, and what options you have if something goes wrong.

The Government's Renting is Changing campaign has information to help tenants understand the changes:

👉 Find out more:

📣 Please share this post with friends, family or anyone you know who rents privately. Understanding your rights is the first step towards exercising them.

If you're having problems with your tenancy or are unsure about your rights, Citizens Advice can help you understand your options.
