Rent Act Tenancies | Infosheet

With the Renters' Rights Bill introducing major reforms, it's crucial for agents and landlords to understand the tenancies they’re managing. Rent Act tenancies from before 1989 are still in place and follow very different rules. These include fair rent limits, strong tenant protections and stricter possession processes. They are not affected by the new tenancy type under the Bill. Mistaking one for an AST can lead to costly delays. Our latest guide helps you identify and manage these tenancies with confidence.

Rent Act Tenancies

| Infosheet

Rent Act tenancies from before 1989 are still out there, and they follow a completely different set of rules. These tenancies offer stronger tenant protections, rent control through fair rent assessments, and involve more complex possession procedures. They are also not affected by the new single tenancy type introduced in the Renters’ Rights Bill.

We’ve seen cases where a tenancy assumed to be an AST was actually a regulated tenancy. That simple mistake led to delays, legal hurdles and unnecessary complications.

Due diligence isn’t just best practice, it’s essential. Download our latest info guide to help your team identify and manage older tenancy types with confidence.
