Settling Into New Legislation
Over the last 2 years our free webinars have been well-received and extremely well attended by GLM members and non members to stay up to date with the government’s plans to roll out what was the Renters’ Rights Bill and subsequently, Act. The benefit, unlike training, was to provide a snapshot of the changes that were to be implemented and the impact on landlords, tenants and letting agents.
The webinars that we are currently running up to and including early December 2026 will focus on how landlords and letting agents are navigating the Renters’ Rights Act, the trends that are developing as a result and the challenges when it comes to dealing with change.

Why Interim Property Visits Matter in the Private Rented Sector
The relationship between landlord and tenant is built upon trust, but property management requires regular oversight. One of the most valuable tools available to landlords and letting agents is the interim property visit, sometimes referred to as a routine inspection.
Whilst many landlords focus on the start and end of a tenancy, the period in between is often where issues can develop unnoticed. Regular interim visits provide an opportunity to identify problems early, maintain communication with tenants and protect both the property and the tenancy relationship.
Renters’ Rights Act -It’s All About the New Norm
Just one month into the implementation of Phase 1 of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, it is becoming clear that the issues and challenges being navigated by letting agents are consistent across England.
While experiences will vary from agency to agency, a number of common themes have emerged as letting agents adapt to the new legislative framework. In no particular order, the following trends are becoming apparent:-
Serving Section 8 (Form 3A) under Grounds 1 and 1A. Landlords are using the fact that tenancies created over 12 months ago do not bear the weight of the restrictions imposed by the Renters’ Rights Act 2025.
