How will the Renters’ Rights Act affect you as a tenant?
Thought leadership by Adam Pigott, (Pictured above) CEO and co-founder of Openbrix powering the tenant app tlyfe.
‘The private rental sector is undergoing its biggest transformation in decades. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 introduces sweeping reforms designed to give tenants greater security, transparency and protection when renting a home in England.
For millions of renters, the changes will fundamentally reshape the relationship between tenants and landlords — from ending “no-fault” evictions to introducing stronger protections against unfair rent increases and discrimination.
But while the legislation offers stronger rights on paper, tenants will also need clearer guidance, better communication tools and more transparency throughout their tenancy journey. This is where platforms such as Tlyfe are becoming increasingly important.
The end of ‘no-fault’ evictions
One of the headline reforms is the abolition of Section 21 evictions, often referred to as “no-fault” evictions. From May 2026, landlords can no longer ask tenants to leave without giving a legally valid reason.
For tenants, this creates significantly greater housing stability. Renters will have more confidence to challenge poor property conditions or unfair treatment without fear of being removed from their home simply for speaking up.
However, with landlords now relying on defined legal grounds to regain possession, record keeping and communication become more important than ever. Digital tenancy management platforms such as Tlyfe can help tenants keep important documents, tenancy communications and property records organised in one place, reducing disputes and improving transparency between all parties.
Stronger protections against unfair rent increases
Under the new legislation, rent increases will be limited and subject to tighter controls. Landlords must provide formal notice and tenants will have stronger rights to challenge increases they believe are unreasonable.
The reforms are designed to prevent surprise rent hikes and create a fairer system for tenants already facing affordability pressures across the rental market.
This shift also increases demand for better visibility around rental payments, tenancy terms and financial responsibilities. Tlyfe supports this evolving landscape by helping tenants manage their rental journey digitally, giving them easier access to tenancy information, payment tracking and important updates throughout the tenancy lifecycle.
A more transparent rental experience
The Renters’ Rights Act also introduces stronger expectations around written tenancy information and landlord accountability.
For tenants, this means, greater clarity around tenancy agreements, improved access to information, better protection against hidden or unfair practices and stronger enforcement against non-compliant landlords
Technology is expected to play a major role in helping the industry adapt. Platforms like Tlyfe* are already helping modernise the rental experience by simplifying communication between tenants, agents and landlords while creating a more transparent and user-friendly tenancy process.
Rather than relying on fragmented emails, paperwork and disconnected systems, tenants increasingly expect a digital-first experience that mirrors the convenience they receive in banking, travel and other consumer sectors.

Commercial Real Estate technology trends reshaping the Industry
The following article touches on some of the key points that Wes Snow CEO of Ascendix Technologies covered when he spoke on ‘The Concrete Voice podcast’, are you a subscriber?
Wes Snow, CEO, Ascendix,
‘Commercial real estate is entering a new era driven by artificial intelligence, automation, data intelligence, and user-focused digital experiences. For years, the industry relied heavily on manual processes, spreadsheets, and fragmented systems. Now, technology is becoming central to how brokers, investors, and property firms operate, compete, and scale.
A growing number of commercial real estate leaders are adopting AI-powered workflows, CRM automation, predictive analytics, and integrated platforms to improve operational efficiency and client engagement. According to insights shared by technology leaders at Ascendix Technologies, the sector is rapidly moving away from isolated software tools toward connected ecosystems that streamline everything from prospecting to transaction management.
One of the biggest trends shaping the market is the rise of AI-assisted workflows. Rather than replacing brokers, AI is increasingly being used to eliminate repetitive administrative tasks. Commercial real estate firms are deploying tools capable of extracting information from documents, drafting emails automatically, scheduling tasks, and enabling voice-powered CRM updates. These technologies reduce the time agents spend on manual data entry and allow them to focus more on relationship building and deal-making.
Industry experts believe AI adoption is no longer optional. Firms that fail to modernise risk losing competitiveness as clients demand faster response times, better data visibility, and more personalised service. However, the implementation process remains challenging for many organisations.
Todd Terry, co-founder of Ascendix Technologies, argues that companies often struggle because they attempt to pursue too many AI initiatives simultaneously instead of focusing on a few practical business problems first.
This shift toward practical AI implementation reflects a wider change across commercial real estate technology. Rather than investing in “hype-driven” innovation, firms are now prioritising tools that produce measurable business outcomes. Technologies that improve prospecting efficiency, automate reporting, or centralise customer data are gaining far more traction than experimental systems with unclear ROI.

Why personal branding, humour and sharp messaging cuts through all – meet Daniel Fisher MREC Cert RP
As a two times editor, journalist, author, analyst and consultant I get to write over 1.5 million words a year and read more than three times that, so it is not often I get stopped in my tracks by someone’s prose. But yesterday like a heavy duty freight train coming at me out of control I came across Luke Litter’s look-alike bigger brother Daniel Fisher MREC Cert RP, who had put some copy together on his Linkedin post. It is perfect prose.
For context Daniel and his team at Titan Recruitment Solutions based in Cornwall supply high-quality temporary and permanent recruitment solutions, supporting businesses and jobseekers across Cornwall.
What I found exceptional, was that in a very few lines, Dan was able to use humour, get his branding across and connect both what he did and for who, as well as getting emotional buy in from dog lovers, sausage roll lovers, those looking for commercial staff and operators of forklifts. And of course he managed to shoehorn in the hottest topic in town Artificial Intelligence.
In many ways Dan’s post is an abstraction of the human condition, as well as connecting him straight into our brains, he is obviously the type of person who is a doer, is likeable, trustworthy and knows his trade. In a world of unknowns Trump, Starmer, etc, Dan’s self deprecating words and of course the accompanying image he used in his post (see picture below) gives a stoic and strong vibe that maybe, just maybe there are outposts of hope because some people just get the job done. No ifs or buts.
Here then is the LinkedIn post in full, or use this LINK.
Needed an ego check this morning so I asked ChatGpt to roast me, no filter…
You treat recruitment like you’re Jordan Belfort, but half your day is ringing forklift drivers called Darren who missed their shift because “the dog looked sad.”
You’ve got the aesthetic of a bloke who unironically says “rise and grind” while eating a petrol station sausage roll in a Titan Recruitment quarter zip.
Also, your poor barber must live in fear. Every appointment:
“Yeah mate, same again… make me look like a darts prodigy crossed with a gladiator.”
Brother, if the Spartans saw you spending 45 minutes choosing a profile picture border colour, they’d throw you off the cliff themselves.
In my eyes this is a brilliant combination that lands with real punch, and it would be wrong not to give the last word, or words to Dan, so well done and here are his thoughts if you are Cornwall based and need some help.
