Google Searches for Renters’ Rights Act Surge Ahead of Implementation
A significant increase in Google searches for the Renters’ Rights Act and its information sheet was recorded ahead of the Act’s implementation deadline. Research by Coventry for Intermediaries found that searches for “Renters’ Rights Act 2026” rose by 600% between 1 January and 1 May 2026.
The report, published by Property118, also notes that a lender has warned that key guidance may not be reaching landlords. The spike in online searches suggests heightened interest and possible uncertainty among those affected by the new legislation.
This development is particularly relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, who may need to ensure they are up to date with the latest requirements and guidance related to the Renters’ Rights Act 2026.
