Be still, my beating heart – new ‘How to Rent’ Guide

A new version of the How to Rent Guide was released today, 2 October 2023.

This needs to be given to the tenant on all new and replacement tenancies (including on statutory periodic arising) from today onwards.

NB – ‘given’ means a physical copy given to the tenant, unless the tenant has expressly agreed to being sent a copy by email (and even then sending a link to the gov.uk site is not sufficient).

No section 21 can be served until the How to Rent Guide has been given.

A copy has been added to the archive.
