DWELLING ON RENTAL RIGHTS
We’re under starter’s orders for the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 (RRA 2025) which hits on 1 May 2026, when the subordinate legislation we look at below will take effect. Second commencement regulations (SI 2026/421) next time.
Forms, Forms, Forms Six forms actually, which are prescribed by SI 2026/354 with five of them scheduled. They are all updates from SI 2015/620 which is revoked for private assured tenancies. The updated forms are labelled with an A suffix to distinguish them from those which survive for the social sector, so we have 1A (notice proposing different terms for tenancy arising on succession), 2A (application referring a 1A notice to tribunal), 4A (notice proposing new rent), 5A (notice proposing new rent or licence fee under agricultural occupancy) and 9A (notice proposing assured tenancy where assured agricultural occupancy conditions met). The hitherto chart-topping notice seeking possession, renamed form 3A, will be published online. Transitional provisions
