Existing Tenancy Information Sheet — landlord obligations in England
For existing written tenancies that started before 1 May 2026, the law requires you to serve an official Information Sheet to each named tenant by 31 May 2026. This is a one-off obligation, and the deadline has passed. If you have not done this yet, you are still required to serve it and the breach remains live. The sheet must be the official version issued under the RRA 2025.
The law that creates this obligation
Your obligations as a landlord
- Who this applies to: Landlords with existing assured or assured shorthold tenancies wholly or partly in writing as at 1 May 2026, excluding social housing.
- When it applies: One-off — by 31 May 2026 (deadline passed, but non-compliance is a live breach).
- What you must do: Serve the official RRA 2025 Information Sheet to each named tenant under the existing tenancy.
