What Every Landlord Must Know

Introduction

The Renters’ Rights Reform has been promoted as a Law designed to target “Rogue Landlords.” But in reality, many Good, Responsible Landlords will be caught in the same web because the Law will apply to everyone equally.

This Reform will transform how Landlords manage Properties, Tenants, and Compliance. It will bring strict new Rules, binding Complaint Systems, and higher Standards that cannot be ignored.

Key Changes Landlords Must Be Ready For
  • Section 21 will be abolished: No more “No-Fault” Evictions. You will need solid Evidence and Section 8 Grounds to regain Possession.

  • All Tenancies will become periodic: Tenants can leave with short Notice. You can only recover Possession using valid Grounds backed by Proof.

  • Rent Increases will be regulated: One increase per year under Section 13 Rules, with full Market Evidence.

  • Anti-Discrimination Rules will be enforced: Blanket Bans on Applicants (e.g., “No DSS” or “No Pets”) will risk Complaints and Penalties.

  • Property Standards will be raised: The Decent Homes Standard and HHSRS will require higher Repair and Safety Evidence.

  • The Ombudsman will be mandatory: Tenants will have free access to Complaints, and Outcomes will be legally Binding and Public.

Why Agents Cannot Protect Landlords Under The New Rules

Even if you use an Agent, the Law will hold you, the Landlord, fully responsible for most Compliance Breaches.

You will carry the risk when:

A Tenant Complaint goes to the Ombudsman

A Council issues an Improvement Notice

A Rent Repayment Order is triggered by Missing Paperwork or an Unlawful Eviction

Repairs fail to meet the Decent Homes Standard or Awaab’s Law Deadlines

Agents can help with Administration and Tenancy Management, but they cannot take the legal hit for you. Fines, Compensation Orders, and Court Judgments will carry your name, not the Agent’s.

This means even Good Landlords will be penalised if their Evidence, Paperwork, and Processes are not watertight.
