Action needed, update policies, paperwork, and processes.

Major reforms mean you should review how you manage tenancies, property standards, and complaints handling.

• Section 21 no fault route ends, you should focus on correct grounds and process.
• More emphasis on periodic tenancies, review your agreement format and renewal workflow.
• Decent Homes Standard applies to private rentals, expect tighter quality thresholds.
• Stronger rules on discrimination, review how you advertise and shortlist.
• Ban on rent bidding wars, review pricing and advertising.
• Awaab’s Law extended, damp, mould, and hazards need faster documented action.
• Mandatory landlord registration plus a PRS Ombudsman, prepare documents and complaint handling steps.

What to do next, this can be mapped inside your free MOT:

• Update your agreements and notice process, remove outdated flows, tighten evidence steps.
• Audit your property condition against expected standards, document timelines and fixes.
• Create a registration ready document pack, include safety certificates and key tenancy documents.
• Set a simple complaint handling process, so you can respond quickly with an evidence trail.
