Updated Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet 2026 download unchanged?
Hello everyone, I have already sent my tenants the ‘original’ ‘Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet 2026′ and got them to sign an acknowledgement as proof.
However, the Government’s ‘Daily update from GOV.UK for: Changes to private renting’ email on Thursday 23rd April now tells me that it has been updated with a link to a page on accessible formats, the update having been made 9:58am, 22 April 2026.
So this is the version we now have to serve…again?
However, I’ll be damned if I can find any difference in the PDF to download from the download page!

Anyone spot a difference?
Steve

A braille version would be challenging to send as a PDF attachment (I wonder what the legal position is if you did)

This idiotic government will suddenly remember on 30th May that “Opps not everyone speaks English” and that they need to translate the RRA Information sheet into every language imaginable.
But then maybe not as they don’t ask/want tenants to acknowledge receipt, lol.

If the bloody AST was in English and they signed that, there is no need for anything else that needs to be issued to be translated into any other language. Any tenant can use google translate as they wish.

Thanks for all the responses. However, the email alert for the change implied that it is the document, not the web page that had been updated. What’s the betting that the wording was AI drafted and no one checked it? I don’t know why I expect anything to be done competently these days!

It hasn’t changed
