Renters' Rights Act 2025 update

Now the Renters' Rights Act is in force, it is interesting to see all the different questions we are getting, often covering things that had not been considered. For example, we had a question where a section 13 notice had been issued, but at a rent lower than the previous rent. Interestingly section 13(2) says the notice is for an increase so does this mean the notice is not valid?

Sadly, with many of these queries it is not possible to give definitive answers as until a court gets to look as some of them, it will be hard to predict how they might judge a given situation.

MHLC have confirmed their intention to commence phase two from late in 2026, this is the property database (now called Register your rental property) and the ombudsman for landlords. Both of these will involve a lot of work getting all the landlord and property details onto the new system. As soon as there is further information available, we plan to look to support you in this second transition.

We have a tenant from abroad who seems to have gone home for the holidays but has not returned. All their goods are still in the house. What should we do? The tenant is now 2 months in arrears.

A tenant advised that a rent payment would be delayed due to an emergency. However, the rent payment has been processed by the bank. The tenant has contacted us demanding the return of the money. What are our obligations?
