Renters’ Rights Act changes for landlords risks leaving tenants with fewer options
Original Article Summary
New findings are drawn from LRG’s Spring 2026 Lettings Report
PropMatch Curated Analysis
New survey data from LRG reveals that fewer than a third of landlords fully understand the Renters' Rights Act's ban on advance rent beyond one month, with over half expecting higher-risk tenant applications and 38% reconsidering their position or tightening selectivity — signalling further PRS supply contraction.
Investor Relevance
This article is directly relevant to buy-to-let landlords and PRS investors as it documents both compliance gaps and the likely behavioural and supply-side consequences of the Renters' Rights Act, including increased tenant screening, potential portfolio exits, and reduced access for higher-risk tenants — all of which affect acquisition strategy, lettings policy, and portfolio risk assessment.
