‘The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 represents one of the most significant reforms of residential letting law in England for a generation. The principal tenancy reforms came into force on 1 May 2026 and replaced most assured shorthold tenancies with assured periodic tenancies. They also abolished section 21 possession and substantially recast the statutory grounds on which landlords may recover possession.’
