What's in the pack

Five pages of plain-English compliance content — pages 1 to 4 are tenant-facing, page 5 is your landlord-only addendum.

1

The official information sheet

A 4-page tenant-facing summary, in plain English. Send pages 1–4 to every tenant by 31 May. That's the compliance step.

2

What changed, what's coming

Every change explained: Section 21 abolition, end of fixed terms, Form 4A rent increases, new Section 8 grounds, pet rights, student provisions.

3

A note for landlords (just for you)

A landlord-facing addendum on what the new rules mean for your strategy — and where short-let economics now sit relative to long-let.

Why we made this

The Renters' Rights Act puts a real, deadline-bound obligation on every landlord with an active assured tenancy. Most landlords would rather have a plain-English summary than wade through 200 pages of official guidance.

We're a short-let management company. We don't manage long-lets. But we work with thousands of UK landlords, and many of them have rental properties they're rethinking now that Section 21 is gone and fixed terms are abolished.

We made this pack as the starting point of that rethink — the compliance you have to do, plus an honest landlord-facing note on whether short-let is the better fit for your specific property.

"We made the compliance pack because most landlords would rather have a plain-English summary than wade through 200 pages of official guidance."

A few questions

Is this the official information sheet?
Yes. The content of pages 1–4 mirrors the official Renters' Rights Act 2025 tenant information sheet content, rewritten in plain English. We've cited gov.uk on every page so your tenants can verify or get full detail.
Do I have to use this specific document?
No. The legislation requires you to provide written information about how the new rules affect each tenant, but the format isn't prescribed. This pack is a clean, ready-to-send option that meets the obligation.
What if I have multiple properties or tenancies?
Send the same pack to each tenant. You can send it via email or hand it over physically — both count as "providing written information" under the Act.
Is my email going to a sales person?
You'll receive the PDF and an occasional update on UK short-let market data. No sales calls. If you want to talk to us, you'll have to come find us — houst.com/audit is always open.
What if I have questions about whether short-let is right for my property?
Page 5 of the pack walks through the strategy implications. If you want to dig in further, our free Short-let vs Long-let calculator (60 seconds, no signup) is at houst.com/tools.
