With Section 21 evictions on their way out and tenants gaining more rights, there’s one major shift not getting enough attention: local authorities will soon act as investigator, judge, and jury — empowered to issue fines of up to £30,000, apply banning orders, and demand compliance from landlords and agents alike. However, with inconsistent enforcement, limited resources, and increasingly complex obligations, this change risks becoming a postcode lottery of penalties and reputational damage. In this new landscape, robust record-keeping and clear communication aren’t just best practice — they’re essential. That’s where The Lettings Hub comes in. We’re supporting agents through the transition with BOX, our free digital pre-tenancy platform that provides full audit trails and secure document storage, along with regular updates on how the Bill is being enforced and practical guidance to navigate the changes with confidence.

Subletting in the private rental sector can cause serious issues if done without a landlord’s consent, from tenancy breaches and invalid insurance to rent arrears and overcrowding. In our latest infosheet, we explore the key warning signs—like unauthorised occupants, extra locks, and online rental listings—and share the steps landlords can take, from inspections to formal warnings or legal action. While the Renters’ Rights Bill doesn’t change subletting rules, it does make regaining possession more challenging, reinforcing the need for thorough tenant referencing as the best defence.
This infosheet also includes a recent case study highlighting how illegal subletting can go unnoticed and the financial impact it can have on landlords.
