Letting a Property under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025

Landlords must give tenants a written statement setting out the main terms of the tenancy, including rent, responsibilities, and key rights.

The written statement should normally be provided before the tenancy begins. In some situations, it must be given within 28 days.

If a landlord may later rely on specific possession grounds, these must be clearly stated at the outset. Failing to do so may restrict the landlord’s options later.

Failure to provide required information can limit a landlord’s ability to rely on certain grounds or take enforcement action later.

Clear written information helps tenants understand expectations and provides evidence of compliance if issues arise.
