Renters’ Rights Act: The Future for Professional Landlords and PRS Leaders - Devonshires

Renters’ Rights Act: The Future for Professional Landlords and PRS Leaders - Devonshires

This full‑day conference will provide a clear, practical, and commercially focused guide to the new legal framework.


Our legal experts will break down what the reforms mean in real terms - how they will operate, where the risks lie, and what steps PRS landlords must take now to prepare.

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 marks the biggest overhaul of residential landlord and tenant law in decades. With key provisions set to commence on 1 May 2026, the new legal framework will fundamentally reshape the residential lettings market - bringing new compliance duties, strengthened renter protections, and a regulatory approach more familiar to the social housing sector.

For professional private landlords, institutional investors, build‑to‑rent operators, developers, and portfolio managers, these changes represent a major operational and commercial transition.

This full‑day conference will provide a clear, practical, and commercially focused guide to the new legal framework. Our legal experts will break down what the reforms mean in real terms - how they will operate, where the risks lie, and what steps PRS landlords must take now to prepare.
