Landlords urged to comply with new rules or face £7,000 fine
James Gwynne said landlords must prove the sheet was delivered and accepted, as the Renters’ Rights Act also ends Section 21 evictions.
- James Gwynne, lettings manager at Worcestershire estate agents Nicol & Co, warns landlords must distribute the government-issued Information Sheet by May 31 or face fines of up to £7,000.
- Effective May 1, 2026, the Renters' Rights Act introduced significant changes including the abolition of fixed-term tenancies and the end of Section 21 evictions.
- Simply making the document available is insufficient, as Gwynne emphasized: "Agents and landlords must ensure that the relevant documents are served to tenants."
- Because tenants now require two months' notice, crossover periods have extended, impacting cashflow, though Gwynne noted this "affords the opportunity for repairs and renovation to be carried out."
- Nicol & Co is hosting a free Landlords Seminar at Sixways on Thursday, June 25, with booking available via Eventbrite or by calling 01905 799072.
