How to Rent Booklet Updated 31st May 2019
Just to add to the introduction of the Tenant Fees act on the 1st of June the government has updated the ‘How to Rent’ booklet the day before.
This updated version must now be given to tenants at the start of all new tenancies from the date it was changed – 31/05/2019.

Landlords must serve an updated version of the ‘How to Rent’ booklet when a new tenancy starts and the booklet has been updated since the last one was granted. A statutory periodic tenancy is considered a new tenancy so an updated copy must be served before you can issue a Section 21.
“This guide is for tenants and landlords in the private rented sector to help them understand their rights and responsibilities. It provides a checklist and more detailed information on each stage of the process, including:
- what to look out for before renting
- living in a rented home
- what happens at the end of a tenancy
- what to do if things go wrong”
