The Renters’ Rights Act introduces major reform to tenancy law in England, with the first phase due to take effect from 1st May 2026. While a lot of attention has focused on the end of Section 21 notices and the move to periodic tenancies, one of the most immediate operational impacts for letting agents will be the changes to tenancy paperwork.

The Canopy and The Lettings Hub Group are thrilled to announce the completion of a management buyout supported by, existing investors, Hay Wain. The transaction has recapitalised the corporate structure, supporting the group’s continued integration and enabling further investment in technology, data, operational expertise, and product innovation to better serve the lettings sector.

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 is on its way, and the countdown to 1st May 2026 has officially started. Big changes are coming—Section 21 is being scrapped, there’ll be new periodic tenancies, more possession grounds, stronger compliance powers, and major updates on rent increases, pets, and rent-in-advance.
