RENTERS’ RIGHTS ACT 2025

Everything Landlords Need to Know About the New Rental Rules

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has already began from December 2025.

The new phases will begin from 1st May 2026 and more legislation to follow in late 2026.

Please keep up to date via the government website for the latest news.

In the meantime here is a summary of the new legislation: 

Core Tenancy & Possession Reforms

The reforms replace fixed-term tenancies with periodic ones, abolish Section 21 no-fault evictions, & update possession grounds under Section 8. They also add a possession ground for student HMOs & strengthen how anti-social behaviour cases are considered by courts.

Financial & Pricing Changes

The changes introduce stricter rules on rent increases, limiting them to once per year via a formal notice. They also ban landlords from requiring more than one month’s rent in advance and prohibit rental bidding above the advertised rent.

Regulatory & Compliance Frameworks

The measures require landlords to join a new ombudsman scheme, register themselves and their properties on a public database, and meet new minimum property standards. They also introduce strict timeframes for addressing serious hazards such as damp and mould.

Enforcement & Legal Duties

The new regulations require landlords & letting agents to provide tenants with a written statement of terms or an information sheet. Local councils have expanded investigatory powers, allowing them to inspect properties & request  documentation. Rent repayment orders have been extended to cover more offences, enabling tenants to reclaim up to 24 months of rent.

We understand that there is a lot of changes that have been introduced, if you feel you wish to discuss in more detail & require assistance, we are running one to one workshops which can be booked.

I am extremely grateful and have always appreciated the exceptional professionalism and care of Viv and the team both over 12 years of managing the property as a rental and later marketing it. I highly recommend this company.

I can confidently say the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, their team was incredibly attentive, taking the time to understand all of my needs and making sure every detail was handled with care. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. Whether it was answering questions, providing updates or going the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect, Lacasa consistently exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a property service company that is reliable, dedicated, and genuinely invested in your comfort and peace of mind, Lacasa Property Services is the one to choose. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and highly recommend them to anyone in London.

Exceptional Service From Start to Finish I recently used La casa and I couldn’t be happier with the level of professionalism and support I received throughout the entire process. From the very first conversation, the team were transparent, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. Every step was explained clearly, they were always available to answer my questions, and their communication was consistently prompt and reassuring. What really stood out was how helpful and proactive they were, nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make the experience smooth and stress free. Their guidance, expertise, and attention to detail made a huge difference, and I felt fully supported from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend La casa to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and genuinely helpful estate agency. A top-tier service through and through.

I had a call scheduled Viv from the estate agents. He was very friendly and brilliant overall. He is very knowledgeable and can help make you understand concepts if you don’t quite understand. I would definitely recommend if you have any queries about property in general, whether you’re a landlord, or if you’re looking to purchase a property.

La Casa appears to be a letting agent that genuinely cares about tenants and about providing a fair and reliable service, even in London's difficult rental market. Their replies are fast and helpful and the people are kind.
