Renters’ Rights Act: Why Landlords Want Certainty

TL;DR

The Renters’ Rights Act has changed the private rental sector in England. With new rules, stronger tenant protections, and the end of Section 21 no-fault evictions, landlords are looking for more certainty. Guaranteed rent gives landlords fixed monthly income, no voids, no arrears, no repairs, and no tenant issues.

Introduction

The Renters’ Rights Act is changing the way landlords think about rental property.

The first major phase of reforms came into force on 1 May 2026, including a new tenancy system and the end of Section 21 no-fault evictions. The government has described the Act as a major reform for both renters and landlords in England.

For landlords, this means the rental market is becoming more structured and more regulated.

As a result, many landlords are now asking how they can protect their income while reducing stress.

This makes HMOs attractive to investors — but only if managed effectively.

Why the Renters’ Rights Act Matters

The Renters’ Rights Act gives tenants more security and changes how landlords manage tenancies.

Landlords now need to pay closer attention to:

  • How tenancies are ended
  • How rent increases are handled
  • Property compliance
  • Tenant communication
  • Legal responsibilities
  • Rental income protection

These changes mean landlords need a stronger plan for their properties.

The Problem with Uncertainty

Most landlords want three things from their property:

  • Reliable rent
  • Fewer problems
  • Long-term security

However, traditional letting can still involve uncertainty.

A landlord may have a good tenant one month, then face arrears, repairs, or a void period the next.

Even with a letting agent, the landlord can still carry the risk.

That is why certainty has become more important than ever.

We also:

  • Manage all tenant relationships and issues.
  • Cover maintenance and repairs.
  • Ensure your property meets all compliance and licensing standards.

This means you enjoy income without the stress.

How Guaranteed Rent Gives Landlords Stability

Guaranteed rent offers landlords a simple alternative to traditional letting.

At Citywide Housing Group, we offer landlords:

  • Guaranteed rent
  • 3 to 5 year commercial leases
  • Market rents paid
  • No voids
  • No arrears
  • No repairs
  • No tenant issues

Instead of worrying about late payments or empty properties, landlords receive agreed rent every month.

This gives property owners a more stable way to hold their investment, especially during a period of major rental reform.

Why More Landlords Are Considering Commercial Leases

A commercial lease gives landlords a clearer structure.

Rather than dealing directly with individual tenants, the landlord enters into an agreement with Citywide Housing Group.

This creates a more hands-off arrangement and helps remove the common pressures of traditional property management.

For landlords with HMOs, blocks of flats, or family homes, this can be a practical route to long-term rental security.
