What happens if the EPC requirement on HMOs changes to C during the rental contract?

The Govt has said, the regulations will apply to new tenancies initially, and 2 years later, will be extended to all existing tenancies.

so if you have an esiting tenant 6 months before the 2 years is up, write and explain them the works planned detailing that you have to now carry these out so you can continue to legally let to them. Explain the upheaval required and inconvenience and cost. Explain that the cost will mean the rent will have to be increased above what you would normally increase the rent by (give them a figure). If they do not give permission for the works (likely as they dont want a massive rent increase) then you apply for an exemption and that gives you another 5 years or until they move out.

It is for all tenancies, both new and existing.

Owner occupiers will need to get their out homes up to a C by 2030/35

That was the case. Now it is likely not and 3028 is for all PRS properties
