Suggested next reading

  • What changes on 1 May 2026

    Start here if you need the main shift in rules and the date framework before going deeper.

  • Tenant guides

    A tenant-focused route into notices, rent, pets, discrimination, and transition issues.

  • Before and after 1 May 2026

    Use this when the dates matter and you need to separate old steps from the new framework.

What to keep in mind

  • Start with tenant-focused guidance.
  • Because the tenancy started before 1 May 2026, transition checks are likely to matter.
