Our latest infosheet has everything letting agents and landlords need to know about how the Renters’ Rights Bill will impact pet ownership in rental homes.

The Bill gives tenants stronger rights to request pets, requires landlords to respond within 28 days, and introduces the ability to require pet insurance to help manage risk.

At The Lettings Hub, we’re ready to help you adapt. Pet Damage Insurance is now available through Tenants Home Insurance, making it easier to protect properties. BOX enables you to record pet requests, decisions, and proof of insurance all in one place. We also offer updated tenancy templates and clear guidance to keep you compliant.

Stay informed and prepared for what’s ahead.

The May 2025 court data reveals several important trends in the rental sector. Median possession timelines have increased to 26.1 weeks, up from 24.1 in 2024. While possession claims have slightly decreased, landlords are now more likely to pursue cases through to repossession. High Court enforcement is increasingly being used as a quicker alternative to traditional bailiff routes. At the same time, a rise in settlements and mediation suggests that more landlords are working proactively with tenants experiencing short-term financial difficulties.

At The Lettings Hub, we remain committed to supporting landlords and letting agents as the legal landscape continues to shift. From robust tenant referencing to rent protection and legal support, our tools and resources are designed to help you stay ahead. Visit our Renters’ Rights Hub and follow us on LinkedIn for the latest updates and guidance.

The Renters’ Rights Bill has completed Committee Stage in the House of Lords and is set for Report Stage in June. Major changes are coming – including the end of Section 21, a move to periodic tenancies, stricter rules on rent in advance, student lets, pets, and a new landlord database.

To help letting agents stay ahead, our BOX solutions cover everything from tenant checks to pet damage cover and compliance support.

From 14th May, letting agents must legally carry out financial sanctions checks on all new landlords and tenants. To help agents get ready, we’ve created a simple infosheet covering what’s changing, what needs to be done, and how to stay compliant. With over 150,000 sanctions checks already completed through BOX, The Lettings Hub is here to make the process simple and secure. Read the infosheet and make sure your agency is ready.
