📢 Landlords: Making Tax Digital submissions are made quarterly, but there is something important to understand about how those updates work.

Quarterly updates are cumulative. Your Q2 submission includes all transactions from the start of the tax year, covering both Q1 and Q2. That means if you made a mistake in Q1, you have the opportunity to correct it in your next update.

Portfolio keeps a running total and flags unreconciled transactions so your records are accurate and your submission is ready when you need it.

Would unfreezing housing benefit send rents soaring? New NRLA analysis suggests not. In fact, rents rose faster while it was frozen (3.4% a year) than when it tracked rents (2.5% a year).

Rent levels are set by tax, mortgage rates, tenant demand and regulation, not by the level of housing support. Freezing housing benefit doesn't control rents. It simply locks those who rely on it out of a home, deepening the homelessness crisis.

The government needs to act.

Falls and fire risks pose serious threats to tenant safety. Falls on the level can result in serious injury. Fire can be life-threatening.

Understanding how the updated HHSRS now assesses these hazards is essential for maintaining compliance. Falls on level surfaces cover trip hazards, falls in bathrooms and unsafe flooring. Fire and explosions cover uncontrolled fire, smoke, fumes and building collapse.

As a landlord, you're responsible for preventing these hazards and ensuring safe escape routes. Review your properties against these categories, check your safety systems and document everything.

Chancellor John Healey MP has confirmed the Autumn Budget will take place on 28th October. Speculation about property taxation has been building for months, from rumours about stamp duty reform to potential changes to council tax.

We have been looking at what we know so far and what landlords can expect. Our policy team will also be following the Chancellor's announcements closely and will provide members with updates on the measures that matter.

Join us for an exclusive member webinar on 29th October from 2pm to 3pm, where we will examine the announcements in detail and explain what they could mean for you.

📢 Landlords: the first phase of the Renters' Rights Act is now in force. Are you up to date?

There are three key things landlords need to have in place to stay compliant:

✅ The right tenancy agreement
✅ A valid ground for possession if you need one
✅ Your required compliance certificates

With fixed-term tenancies and Section 21 now gone, understanding the new requirements is essential for managing your tenancies correctly.

📢 Landlords: the Renters' Rights Act changed the way tenancies work from 1 May 2026. Is your portfolio compliant?

Assured shorthold tenancies are no longer valid for new lets. All new tenancies must now be assured periodic tenancies, and existing ASTs have converted to the new tenancy type from that date.

Portfolio has been updated to reflect the new requirements, with guidance built into the platform, updated compliance checklists, and eSignature templates that now use the assured periodic tenancy as the law requires.

📢 Landlords: do you know how to increase rent under the new rules?

Under the Renters' Rights Act, rent increases for assured periodic tenancies must now follow the Section 13 process. Rent can only be increased once every 12 months, with at least two months' notice, and the correct prescribed form must be used.

Tenants can also challenge a proposed increase, so setting a fair, market-based figure and keeping evidence of comparable rents is important.

The updated HHSRS reorganises hazards into clearer categories, but the responsibility for identifying and managing risks remains with landlords.

Three key hazards to look out for include falls, excess cold, and damp and mould. Regular inspections can help identify issues early and reduce the risk of more serious problems.

As category one hazards can carry on-the-spot penalties of up to £7000 per dangerous hazard, understanding the risks and keeping on top of property maintenance is more important than ever.
