Landlords Sought to Trial Comparable Properties Pack After Renters’ Rights Act
Landlords are being invited to test a new comparable properties pack. This follows the introduction of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, which has brought significant changes for landlords and tenants.
According to Property118, the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has now largely come into force. One of the key changes is that tenants now have increased rights to challenge the rent set by their landlord. The report states that tenants can exercise this right during the first six months of a new tenancy.
The call for landlords to test the new comparable properties pack comes in response to these legislative changes. The pack is intended to support landlords in navigating the updated regulations, particularly in relation to rent challenges.
This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as it may affect how rental values are set and justified in tenancy agreements. The introduction of the comparable properties pack could provide additional resources for property professionals managing compliance with the new legal framework.
