How the Renters' Rights Act affects Crowthorne

From 1 May 2026, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 brings major changes for every private tenant in Crowthorne. Here's what matters most:

No-fault evictions abolished. Your landlord can no longer use Section 21 to evict you without a reason. They must prove a valid ground under Section 8.

Rent increases limited. Your landlord can only increase rent once per year, via a formal Section 13 notice with 2 months' warning. You can challenge unfair increases at a tribunal.

Periodic tenancies for all. All tenancies become rolling month-to-month. You can leave with 2 months' notice at any time — no more being locked into a fixed term.

Right to request a pet. Blanket pet bans are no longer enforceable. Your landlord must consider your request fairly.

Rental bidding banned. Landlords must advertise a set price and cannot accept offers above it.

Cutlery & kitchen starter set
