The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 is the biggest reform since 1988, reshaping tenancies across the UK. Huntleys is prepared—focused on compliance, protecting clients, and keeping everything simple and straightforward.

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has now changed how private tenancies operate, ending Section 21 for most tenancies, replacing fixed-term ASTs with periodic tenancies, and introducing new rules on rent increases, possession, rental bidding and rent in advance.

From 14 May 2025, UK letting agents must report suspected financial sanctions breaches, including dealings with designated persons. Obligations apply once an agent is formally instructed, regardless of the rental value. Landlords must ensure their agents understand these new legal responsibilities.
