Supporting organisations to implement and follow the Renters’ Rights Act with confidence
The Renters’ Rights Act (RRA) 2025 introduces the most significant changes to private renting in a generation. We help local authorities, housing organisations, voluntary sector partners and frontline teams understand the new duties, embed compliant practice, and support renters effectively through the transition.
Drawing on the detailed guidance within the Act and our experience supporting housing and homelessness services, we offer training to build confidence, strengthen practice, and ensure your organisation is fully prepared.

Why does the Renters’ Rights Act matter?
The RRA reshapes the rights and responsibilities of renters, landlords and local authorities. Understanding the Act is essential for:
- Ensuring staff give accurate, up‑to‑date advice
- Reducing unlawful evictions and poor practice
- Strengthening prevention work and early intervention
- Improving outcomes for renters at risk of homelessness
- Meeting statutory duties and avoiding compliance risks
The Act introduces major changes including:
- Abolition of Section 21 and the move to periodic tenancies
- New grounds for possession and strengthened notice requirements
- A national Property Portal and landlord registration
- Stronger enforcement powers for local authorities
- New protections for families, survivors of domestic abuse, and people facing discrimination
- Clearer rules on rent increases and rent repayment orders
These changes require organisations to update policies, retrain staff, and adapt operational processes. Our support helps you do this smoothly and confidently.
Who this is for
Our training is suited to:
- Local authorities
- Housing associations
- Voluntary sector organisations
- Advice agencies
- Outreach and tenancy sustainment teams
- Domestic abuse services
- Organisations working with people at risk of homelessness
It is particularly valuable for services aiming to reduce evictions, improve advice quality, and ensure compliance with the new legal framework.
