UK Tenancy Law for Landlords: Evictions, Deposits, Disputes

The Renters Rights Act 2026 is rewriting how tenancies work — abolishing Section 21, mandating periodic tenancies, expanding the Decent Homes Standard. This hub covers everything from the legal framework to practical tenant management: screening, deposits, mid-tenancy issues, and the right way to end a tenancy under both old and new rules.
