In just two weeks, The Renters’ Rights Act comes into full force. Section 21 will vanish. Fines of up to £40,000 will become a reality and every landlord in England will be expected to serve up a new government-issued information sheet to all tenants with written agreements by 31 May 2026.

Miss that step? It’s a £7,000 fine for a single property, or £40,000 if you repeat the mistake. But it doesn’t stop there. Councils now have a legal duty to enforce these penalties. Enforcement teams are expanding, and law firms are gearing up to collect unpaid fines on councils’ behalf.

This isn’t the first time that landlords have been caught out with subversive laws that explode overnight into a wave of fines, investigations and sleepless nights for landlords who thought they were “covered.” Let’s face it: the war on landlords has been raging for quite some time.

That’s why, starting today, Landlord Sales Agency are offering a free ‘2026 Landlord Compliance & Exit Audit’ to protect you before the deadline hits. But this offer ends 30 April 2026.

Timing here is everything, because from May 1st, all new tenancies created in England will be Assured Periodic Tenancies, fixed-term ASTs will be gone. That means: you must give every tenant with a written tenancy agreement a 4-page government document explaining the new rules. You must serve it (by post, by hand, or electronically) no later than 31 May 2026, even if they’re mid-term. And, you must prove that you did it.

This isn’t optional. The penalties are immediate, automated and recorded. A single clerical mistake or missed email could cost more than an entire year’s rent.

Inside the information sheet will be details letting tenants know about the end of fixed terms (all tenancies become rolling), the abolition of “no-fault” evictions (Section 21 gone forever), tighter rent control, pet rights allowing tenants to keep pets more easily, and bidding war bans on rent. Put simply: tenants will have more rights than ever, and we’ll be expected to let them know that.

What this also means is that every dispute, every compliance error can turn into months of legal limbo. For those landlords in particular who were thinking of selling, in just two weeks, your ability to control your rental exit will vanish.

It’s for this reason that if you’ve ever considered selling, now is the last calm before the storm.

The moment Section 21 disappears, thousands of landlords are predicted to have their hands forced, and will rush to sell. Many under pressure, all at the same time. The knock on effect could be catastrophic: prices dip, buyers hesitate, and tenants stay put.

At Landlord Sales Agency our main priority is to put landlords first, and to help you stay ahead. Founded by landlords, for landlords, we know exactly what’s coming, because we’ve guided over 4,000 landlords to sell up and get out safely, often with cash in hand in under 28 days.

We’re now helping around 80 new landlords every week, securing fast, confidential sales, for the best prices. The feedback has unanimously been that landlords want to get out now before the market gets congested.

And that’s exactly what we’re doing. For landlords that contact us now, we can even help you sell with tenants in place, so you keep collecting rent right until the day you get paid.

But what if you’re unsure about selling? Or you need more information to check you’re compliant? That’s why from today, our team of experts at Landlord Sales Agency are offering a free Compliance & Exit Audit (worth £75 + VAT).

The check includes:

• An instant 2 minute File Check: we’ll confirm whether your tenancy documents meet the new Renters’ Rights Act requirements and if you’re exposed to fines.

We’re ready to assist and we’re determined to protect landlords before penalties begin rolling in.

You’ve got absolutely nothing to lose, and we’ll make sure you’re all set to either brace and weather the storm, or sell up get out while prices for rental properties are still achieving the prices you need.
