Why Thomson Hayton Winkley?

Do you have a large rental property portfolio, or are you an “accidental landlord”?  Whether you let one property, or several, it is vital that you do things properly as mistakes can be expensive if you are looking to regain possession or have other disputes with your tenants.  This area of law has changed much over the last few years, and often landlords are caught out because they have failed to comply with new rules and regulations.

The Renters Rights Act 2025 applies from 1 May 2026 – abolishing Assured Shorthold Tenancies, and s21 (“no fault eviction”) notices.  Getting the correct advice is therefore vital.  Renters Rights Act – Landlords, are you ready?

Remember, tenants have protection from eviction, and you cannot simply change the locks yourself!  You must follow the correct process and procedures through the Court.

One of our experienced team will review your tenancy agreement and other paperwork, before advising you whether steps need to be taken before any notices can be served.  We will advise you what type of notice can be served and ensure this is done correctly, so that if you do need to commence possession proceedings through the Courts, everything will be in order.  We can deal with all steps of those proceedings up to and including the final hearing and arranging eviction if necessary.
