The Renters’ Rights Act (RRA) marks one of the most significant changes to the UK private rented sector in decades. With the first phase coming into force on 1 May 2026, landlords, investors, and property businesses will need to adapt quickly, not just operationally, but financially too. From an accounting and advisory perspective, this legislation is more than a regulatory update. It has direct implications for cash flow, risk management, and long-term investment strategy.
