Letting a Property under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025

Templates designed for fixed‑term tenancies may include unenforceable clauses. Using them without review can lead to confusion and non‑compliance.

Verbal agreements make it difficult to show what was agreed and increase the risk of disputes. Written agreements provide clarity for both parties.

Some landlords assume periodic tenancies offer less security. In practice, lawful possession routes still exist but must be used correctly.

Statutory provisions override conflicting terms automatically. The tenancy continues under the lawful rules regardless of the wording used.

Landlords who are unsure about changes should seek guidance early. This helps prevent errors that could become costly later.
