New legal requirements for buy to let landlords
If you have a buy to let mortgage with Kent Reliance, your terms and conditions set out that you must make sure any tenancy for your property complies with current landlord and tenancy law.
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 brings in major changes for the private rented sector from 1st May 2026. These changes place new legal responsibilities on landlords.
If you don’t comply, you could face enforcement action, financial penalties, or limits on your rights as a landlord.
The Government has also published guidance to help landlords prepare, including:
- An overview of the new landlord rights and responsibilities
- Practical steps you should be taking now
- Renters’ Rights Act: Landlord checklist
Please note: Government guidance is a helpful starting point, but it doesn’t replace independent legal or professional advice. We strongly recommend seeking your own advice to make sure you’re fully compliant and understand how the changes will apply to your tenanted property.
