Landlord seeks clarification on the impact of the Renters' Rights Act on their fixed tenancy agreement with tenants. Questions if the new act supersedes their agreement and if they need to inform tenants about changes under the new law.
I own a property that I rent out. The same tenants have lived there for several years, and agreed a new 12-month fixed tenancy in January 2026.
I believe that now the Renters' Rights Act has come into force that tenancy agreement has been superseded. The 12-month term no longer means anything, and the tenants can leave at any time if they give the correct notice. Is that right? Also, do I need to send my tenants any information about these changes - or should my letting agent sort that out?
