What Landlords MUST Do THIS MONTH To Avoid A £7000 Fine
Landlords must give the government Renters Rights Information Sheet 2026
to all tenants before the end of May or risk a fine of up to £7000.
You can download the official PDF document on the government website at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-renters-rights-act-information-sheet-2026
You must serve the actual document to your tenants, in person, by post or email, and not just send them the link.
Landlords should keep a record and obtain a receipt or acknowledgement or proof of service.
Solicitors have reported a wave of Section 21 notices being served on tenants prior to the deadline when ‘no fault evictions’ will no longer apply, according to the Guardian.
Although successive governments seem to be doing their best to encourage the big corporate landlords and drive small landlords out of business (Section 24, licensing, increased red tape etc), they still need the estimated 2 million private buy-to-let property landlords.
