🚨 5 key changes for tenants from 1st May 2026 🏠
The new Renters' Rights Act means:
1. Landlords can no longer evict tenants through no-fault evictions - they need a valid reason.
No more bidding wars - landlords can’t ask for more than the advertised rent price.
Landlords can only ask for a maximum of one month’s rent upfront.
Landlords can’t just say no to pets - they must consider requests reasonably.
No more fixed-term tenancy contracts. Rolling contracts will give more flexibility.
