Renters' Rights Act 2025 courses

Late on Friday afternoon (14th November), MHCLG issued a range of guidance for the Renters' Rights Act. There are 10 guides for Local Authorities, totalling over 250 pages, along with 26 guides for landlords totalling over 200 pages. One document, the "Roadmap" explains how they envisage this coming into force over three phases, probably over about 10 years.

Importantly, the first phase come into force on the 1 May. This is therefore the date section 21 notices can no longer be served (but special rules for notices already served), fixed term tenancies disappear and the new rules around rent, both payment in advance and rent increases, will apply. Look at the events page to see if you can book one one of our training courses near you. There are 25 events we have planned.

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 and Penalties

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 introduces a raft of newrequirements to comply with, each with its own requirements and penalties. Itdifferentiates between “breaches” (generally civil and a penalty of up to£7,000) and offences (criminal and a prosecution or civil penalty of up to£40,000).

If you were guilty of one of each of theoffences we will explain in the coming weeks, and received the maximumpenalty for each, it would add up to nearly a staggering half a million poundsin penalties. Clearly something every agent would want to avoid.

Watch the video about this article here:

We will run a series outlining the offences. We can’t cover all the details in these brief overviews, but they are covered in our Mastering The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 course which you can book below. Reserve your space here
