**In this issue:**

Why the Renters’ Rights Act is the biggest change to the rental market in a generation.

The key changes landlords need to be aware of before 1 May 2026, including the end of fixed-term tenancies and Section 21 notices.

How new rules around rent increases, tenant rights, and possession could impact your investment strategy.

The introduction of a mandatory Ombudsman scheme and landlord database – and what this means in practice.

The potential risks of non-compliance, including fines of up to £40,000 for serious breaches.

A reminder that planning early and staying informed will put you in the strongest position moving forward.
