What's inside

The new law is a long read. We kept the six parts that can actually cost you money.

01
Ending a tenancy

No fault evictions are gone. The grounds you can still use and how the process runs now.

02
The 31 July cut-off

Old-style notices stop being valid. What to do if you have one in flight right now.

03
Fixed terms

Every tenancy becomes rolling and tenants can give two months notice. What it means for your agreements.

04
Rent rises

The new limits on how and when you can put the rent up, and the tribunal route tenants now have.

05
Pets

When you can still say no, and how to protect the property when you can't.

06
The paperwork

The exact documents that trip landlords up, and the order to fix them in.

The fines

Councils enforce these with civil penalties. Not knowing is not a defence.

£7,000
Paperwork slips

The easy mistakes to make without realising anything's wrong.

£40,000
Serious or repeat breaches

Enough to wipe out years of rental profit on one property.

31 July
Old notices die

Eviction notices served the old way stop being valid after this date.

Who's behind it

A Birmingham lettings firm, not a faceless portal.

We're Greengates. We manage rentals across Birmingham every day, so we deal with these rules for real, not in theory.

We wrote this guide because good landlords keep getting caught by rules nobody told them about. The guide is free and so is the call. If all you ever take from us is the answers, that's fine by us.

Quick answers

Is it actually free?

Yes. The guide and the call cost nothing. We're a Birmingham lettings firm, and some landlords who read the guide later ask us to manage their properties. That's the whole business model. No catches.

Will I get spammed?

No. You get the guide, one call from a real person at our Birmingham office, and the odd genuinely useful update. Unsubscribe whenever you like.

Do I have to switch to your management?

No. Plenty of landlords take the guide and the call and carry on self managing. If you ever want help, you'll know where we are.

I only have one property. Is this for me?

Especially for you. Accidental and single-property landlords are the ones the new rules catch out most, because nobody's paid to keep them up to date.

How long is the call?

Fifteen minutes, on the phone, at a time you pick. No slides, no pitch, just answers about your situation.

Read it tonight. Sleep better.

Free, takes 20 seconds, and you'll know exactly where you stand.
