Renters' Rights Act 2025 Toolkit

Propertymark welcomes the announcement of millions of pounds in additional financial support to help councils identify non-compliant landlords, improve housing standards, and ensure tenants are protected under the new legislative framework. It is vital that this funding is sustained and used strategically to build long-term capacity, not just for short-term fixes.

Whilst it is best practice for letting agents to review their Terms of Business ahead of the reforms kicking in, especially if they are making changes to the type of services they offer to clients, there is no requirement for these business-specific documents to be formally Renters’ Rights compliant.

When it comes to deposit disputes in the private rental sector, one thing matters above all else: evidence. Not opinion. Not memory. And certainly not assumptions. What matters is time stamped, detailed and impartial documentation that shows exactly what condition a property was in at the start and end of a tenancy. Propertymark Industry Supplier, Inventory Hive, explains why inventory reports matter so much, what makes them stand up to scrutiny, and what can cause them to fall apart in front of a deposit adjudicator.
