Renters' Rights Act

The rules have changed. We've got you covered.

The Renters' Rights Act has brought some of the biggest changes to renting in England for a generation. From new tenancy arrangements and rent increase rules to the abolition of Section 21, landlords now face a different set of responsibilities, with further reforms on the horizon. At Alexander Jacob, we believe staying ahead of change is just as important as keeping you informed. We're here to help you navigate the new legislation with clear advice, proactive management and a personal approach that puts your property and peace of mind first.

New rules. Clear advice. The Alexander Jacob way.
