1st May Is Coming - Are You Ready?

The Renters’ Rights Act is reshaping lettings. Make sure you’re ahead of it — not catching up
 
From 1 May 2026, all fixed-term tenancies will end. Every tenancy in England will move to the new assured periodic model. This is one of the biggest structural changes to the lettings sector in decades.
