At The Lettings Hub, our latest infosheet explains what’s changing and how to prepare.

Mistaking one for an AST can lead to costly delays. Our latest guide helps you identify and manage these tenancies with confidence.

The Renters’ Rights Bill is moving quickly, with the Third Reading set for 21st July. Key Government amendments are now on the table, including changes to pet insurance, student lets, rent in advance and rent increases.

With 60% of UK households owning pets and just 8% of rental homes allowing them, understanding these changes is vital. Read the guide for clear advice and practical steps to stay protected and legally compliant.
