Click here to download The Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet 2026
You must provide a copy of this information sheet to your tenants before 31st May 2026
From gov.uk:
This page contains the official Information Sheet that landlords and their agents must give to tenants. This guidance is designed to help private landlords and letting agents in England understand what they need to do.
The Information Sheet is a document produced by the government for tenants. It explains how their tenancy may be affected by the changes introduced by the Renters’ Rights Act 2025.
If you are a landlord and have a letting agent who manages the property on your behalf, then the agent must provide the Information Sheet to the tenant, even if you have also provided it.
You must give this Information Sheet if the tenancy:
- is an assured or assured shorthold tenancy
- was created before 1 May 2026
- has a wholly or partly written record of terms (including a written tenancy agreement)
You must give this Information Sheet by 31 May 2026, or you could be fined up to £7,000.
You do not need to give it to lodgers.
A copy must be given to every tenant named on the tenancy agreement.
The Information Sheet is only valid when downloaded from this page.
You must give the exact PDF found at the top of this page.
You must provide this to the tenants by either:
- printing a hard copy, which is posted or given to the tenants by hand
- sending the PDF electronically as an attachment, for example, to an email or text message
- You must not email or text a link to the PDF to the tenant, as this will not be valid.
The legislation does not require you to change or re-issue any existing written tenancy agreement.
If you have a tenancy based entirely on a verbal agreement, that was made before 1 May 2026, then you cannot give this Information Sheet. You must provide certain written information about key terms of the tenancy instead. You can find out more about this by searching GOV.UK for ‘Tenancy agreements: written information for your tenant’.
You may need to provide this Information Sheet if you are a social landlord letting a non-social tenancy.
