The Renters’ Rights Act Is Now Law – Good for Tenants and Smart Investors Alike
The Renters’ Rights Act has officially become law, transforming the UK’s private rental landscape. Designed to make renting fairer, safer, and more secure for tenants, the new legislation introduces sweeping reforms – from banning no-fault evictions to setting stricter housing standards and energy-efficiency requirements.
For many landlords, this represents a major operational challenge. But for Find UK Property and its clients, it’s an opportunity. The company’s long-standing, compliance-first model already meets (and often exceeds) most of the new standards.
As Dr Tariq Mohammed, Founder of Find UK Property, recently explained:
The Renters’ Rights Bill provides better stability, security, and fairness for tenants – and it’s also good for passive investors and good landlords. It creates a level playing field where everyone must provide quality housing and proper tenancy services.
What the New Law Brings
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 introduces key changes:
- No more Section 21 “no-fault” evictions
Meaning landlords must have valid grounds to regain possession.
- All tenancies become periodic
With tenants able to give two months’ notice, and landlords required to give longer notice depending on circumstances.
- A new “Decent Homes Standard”
Applies to private rentals, ensuring higher quality and faster repairs.
- A ban on rental bidding wars
Discrimination, or demanding more than one month’s rent in advance.
- A limit to rent increases – only once per year
With at least two months’ notice.
- Higher energy efficiency standards (EPC C minimum)
And stronger enforcement on damp and maintenance.
- Creation of a national landlord register and an independent ombudsman
For tenant complaints and transparency.
How Find UK Property Already Complies
While many landlords will now need to overhaul their operations, Find UK Property’s systems, policies, and property standards already align closely with the Act – giving investors confidence that their income remains stable and fully compliant.
- EPC and Energy Efficiency
Find UK Property homes already meet or exceed the EPC ‘C’ standard. The company has proactively upgraded insulation, heating, and lighting systems across its portfolio. Energy performance isn’t a new compliance target – it’s standard practice.
- Fair Notice Periods and Tenancy Terms
Under the new Act, tenants can give two months’ notice, and landlords must follow strict notice rules for repossession.
Find UK Property has long operated this way – providing clear written agreements and transparent notice procedures that prioritise fairness and minimise disputes. The transition to the new rules will be seamless.
- Safe, “Decent Homes” by Default
The new “Decent Homes Standard” formalises what Find UK Property already delivers: professionally managed, regularly inspected, and fully certified homes. Safety checks, gas and electrical testing, and damp control are all managed in-house, at no extra cost to investors.
- No Hidden Costs for Investors
Many smaller landlords now face new administrative and maintenance costs to comply with the Act.
Find UK Property absorbs all compliance, certification, and maintenance costs within its business model – protecting investors from financial surprises and keeping income steady.
- Professional Management and Rent Stability
Because Find UK Property acts as the active landlord and sublets to tenants, investors are completely passive.
The company guarantees rent regardless of tenant payment, ensuring income stability even as new regulations reshape the market.
Costs will rise slightly, but rent levels will balance this over time, and overall investment returns will not be affected. Some active landlords may be frightened by all the new rules and liabilities. This will reduce supply of available rental property – which could increase investment returns for the remaining landlords and passive investors.
Levelling the Playing Field for Quality Landlords
As Dr. Tariq notes in his recent video:
“Costs will rise slightly, but rent levels will balance this over time, and overall investment returns will not be affected. Some active landlords may be frightened by all the new rules and liabilities. This will reduce supply of available rental property – which could increase investment returns for the remaining landlords and passive investors.”
That reduction in supply benefits Find UK Property investors, whose professionally managed properties become even more attractive to tenants seeking compliant, secure accommodation.
The company’s scale and expertise mean it can absorb compliance costs and outperform smaller, self-managed landlords who struggle with the new requirements.
Why This Is Good News for Investors
- Reduced competition: Many smaller landlords may exit the sector.
- Higher tenant demand: Professionally managed properties remain in short supply.
- Stronger occupancy: Better tenant retention through fairer policies.
- Future-proof compliance: No expensive retrofitting or admin headaches.
- Stable returns: Rent increases and strong demand balance higher costs.
In short, the new law cements Find UK Property’s position as a trusted, future-ready home for passive property investors.
Final Word
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 is now the law of the land – setting higher standards and expectations for landlords. While others scramble to adapt, Find UK Property and its clients are already there.
With EPC-efficient homes, transparent notice terms, certified safety, and a compliant management model, Find UK Property exemplifies the type of responsible, well-run landlord the new legislation is designed to promote.
As Dr Tariq puts it:
“For passive investors, there are likely to be no significant issues. Overall investment returns will not change – and could actually rise over the long term due to the shortage of rental homes.”
In short: Find UK Property doesn’t need to catch up to the Renters’ Rights Act – it’s been leading by example all along.
