With the upcoming Renters’ Rights Act being implemented in coming months,
our recent Webinar aimed to allow landlords to understand their personal
rights as well as the rights of tenants being protected by the act. In order

In the webinar, different notice and section changes being implemented
within the RRA was discussed.
Ryan Heaven, landlord and tenant specialist, advises landlords about how to
deal withfour month
noticeson periodic tenancies.
He also discusses Section 4a and six month notices, paying particular regard
to whether the £7000 civil penalty for “relying on a ground where the person
does not reasonably believe that the landlord will be able to obtain
possession” is
still applicable
with the new RRA.
Ground 4a requires notification to the tenants prior to the commencement of
the tenancy, so Mr Heaven discusses the key dates during the transition
period in 2026 for notifying students that their existing tenancy is going
to be ended with ground 4a. He also speaks out on
how landlords can get possession
when there are a mixture of students and graduates living together.
If landlords want to increase rent, they must follow new RRA guidelines.
