Renting rules are changing.
Find out what it means for you.
Organisations across the West of England have come together to help renters, landlords and communities across our region understand the changes introduced by the Renters’ Rights Act.
From May 1st, new national rules will begin to change how renting works across England.
These changes affect how tenancies work, how rent can be increased, the rules around eviction, and requests such as keeping pets in rented homes.
Here you will find trusted information to help people across the West of England understand what the new rules mean and where to find reliable advice.
Whether you rent your home, let property, or support people in your community, this website can help you understand the changes and where to go for more information.
