Here at Pure Lettings we are offering a FREE CONSULTATION to support self-managing landlords navigating the significant changes introduced by the Renters’ Rights Act, which came into force on 1 May 2026. The abolition of Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, the switch to periodic tenancies, and mandatory landlord database registration all carry compliance risks for the uninitiated. We will ensure landlords follow correct procedures throughout, avoiding fines of up to £7,000.
Rent increases now require strict adherence to Section 13 notice procedures, permitting only one increase per year with a minimum of two months’ notice to the tenant, who retains the right to challenge any excessive increase at tribunal — meaning poorly handled increases could prove costly. A sympathetically imposed increase could also cover any costs associated with the management of the property if you feel you need help navigating through the new rules.
If you have any questions in relation to the RRA please contact Lee Bilbrough – 01535 980060 – lee@purepropertylettings.co.uk who will be happy to help.
