The Renters Rights Act 2025 introduces major changes for landlords and tenants across England and Wales. From new rules on tenancy terms to strengthened tenant protections, it’s essential that landlords understand how these updates affect their properties and management practices.

Click below to read our summary and find out what the new legislation means for you.

As a landlord, you have clear rights and obligations under UK law. From protecting any deposit taken, ensuring your property meets Health & Safety standards, to maintaining gas, electrical, and smoke safety compliance, we make it easy to stay on top of your responsibilities. You also have the right to receive rent on time, access your property lawfully, and be fully informed about your tenants. At Steve Morris & Son, we guide landlords through the rules, keeping you compliant, confident, and in control.

The maximum tenancy deposit a landlord can request is equivalent to five weeks’ rent (or six weeks if the annual rent exceeds £50,000), in line with government legislation.

All tenancy deposits we handle are protected through the MyDeposits Insured Scheme — an approved government-backed scheme that ensures your money is safe and secure throughout the tenancy. Once your deposit is registered, you’ll receive a confirmation certificate and prescribed information outlining how it’s protected and how it will be returned at the end of the tenancy.

Deposits are only ever used if deductions are agreed or proven for issues such as unpaid rent or damage beyond fair wear and tear, ensuring a fair and transparent process for both landlord and tenant.

All your statements will automatically appear within your Street.co.uk App for safe-keeping, allowing you to quickly view your monthly income instead of scrolling through past emails.
