What's Changing

Key changes under the Renters' Rights Act 2025 that affect your tenancy agreements

Assured periodic tenancies replace fixed-term ASTs. Attempting to impose a fixed term is now an offence.
You must provide a written tenancy agreement containing specific prescribed information before the tenancy starts.
No-fault evictions end. You can only recover possession using Section 8 grounds with correct procedures.
Rent can only increase once per year using a Section 13 notice. Tenants can challenge increases at tribunal for free.
You cannot refuse tenants because they receive benefits or have children. Pet requests must be considered reasonably.

Get it Wrong, Pay the Price

  • £7,000 - £40,000 in civil penalties for non-compliance

  • Up to 24 months of rent repayment orders

  • Court costs + months of unpaid rent from failed possession claims

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions

Can I still use my assured shorthold tenancy agreement after 1 May 2026?

No. From 1 May 2026, ASTs are abolished. Any new tenancy must be an assured periodic tenancy. Using an AST or imposing a fixed term is an offence, punishable by fines up to £7,000 and rent repayment orders.

Existing ASTs automatically convert on 1 May 2026. You must provide tenants with a government information leaflet by 31 May 2026.

What happens to my existing tenancies when the Act comes into force?

All existing ASTs automatically convert to assured periodic tenancies on 1 May 2026. If you have a written agreement in place, you don't need to replace it, just provide the government leaflet by 31 May 2026.

If your tenancy isn't in writing, you must provide written terms by 31 May 2026.

Does this template work with letting agents?

Yes. Letting agents can use this template for properties they manage on your behalf. Many agents prefer landlords to provide compliant templates rather than drafting agreements from scratch.

What if regulations change after I download this template?

You receive free updates whenever regulations change. We update the template and notify you at no additional cost, ensuring continued compliance.

Can I customise this template?

Yes. You can customise bracketed fields with your specific details and add provisions that don't conflict with the Act. However, you cannot remove or alter the mandatory clauses as these are legally required for compliance.
