Managing a tenancy - information for landlords
Contents
Overview
This guide is for landlords in the private rented sector to help you understand your rights and responsibilities when managing a tenancy.
It provides detailed information on each stage of the process, including tenancy agreements, fees, legal requirements, rights of the tenants how to end a tenancy and eviction.
Renters' Rights Act 2025
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 will change the way that landlords manage tenancies. It changes the type of tenancy agreement that can be used, how to increase rent and how to end a tenancy. It places additional duties and powers on local authorities to investigate and enforce action against landlords and letting agents in breach of the new legislation. You can find out more about the Renters' Rights Act on the Government website Guide to the Renters’ Rights Act - GOV.UK
The Act is being rolled out in stages so not all of the measures are in place now. We will update these pages when the changes are scheduled to take place and you can view the Government's timetable for implementation Implementing the Renters' Rights Act 2025: Our roadmap for reforming the Private Rented Sector - GOV.UK
The Government has produced a guide for landlords to help prepare for the changes:
