Renters’ Rights Act Masterclass – Are you ready for 1 May?

With the Renters’ Rights Act coming into force on 1 May 2026, landlords are facing the biggest legal changes in a generation.

I’m finding that many landlords still aren’t entirely clear what they need to do and more importantly, what they need to do now to stay compliant and avoid problems later.

Over the past few months, I’ve been running training sessions for Landlord Law members on the new rules. But given the scale of the changes, I’ve decided to run a longer, more detailed session open to everyone.

So, on 21 April, I will be running a 3-hour Renters’ Rights Act Masterclass, where I will cover:

what actually changes on 1 May
what you must do (and by when)
how to avoid fines and compliance problems
practical strategies for managing tenancies going forward

This is designed to be a practical, no-nonsense session—not just theory, but what the changes mean for you in real terms.

How to attend

The Masterclass is free for Landlord Law members (in place of the usual 1.5-hour training session).

Non-members can attend for £40, or you can join Landlord Law from £25–£30 pcm (no minimum term) and attend for free, along with access to all member resources.

This includes my new Renters’ Rights Act – compliant tenancy agreement, which I am currently drafting.

Even if you’ve already done some training, this is one of those situations where it really helps to go through everything carefully — there is a lot to take in, and quite a few potential pitfalls.

Masterclass details in a nutshell:

Date: Tuesday 21 April 2026
Venue: Online
Time: Starts at 9.00 am, ending at 12.15 pm with a 15-minute comfort break
Cost: Free (members) / £40 inc VAT (non-members)
CPD: 3 hours – certificate provided if our system shows you attended
Recording: Available to business-level members only after the event.

I look forward to seeing you all on 21 April! Click here to view full details and book your place.
