Today is @OpenRent's birthday ๐ and it comes at a significant time for the private rented sector with the #RentersRightsAct coming into force in England.
To our 8.5 million landlords and tenants, thank you ๐
As the rules change, our focus does not. Simple tools, clear guidance and practical support to help you stay compliant and on top of what matters.
We will be right here with you as things evolve, every step of the way ๐ค๐
We are just a week away from the final day landlords can serve a #Section21 notice to tenants.
After that, the only way to regain possession will be by using #Section8 notice, backed by specific legal grounds.
Learn more about the new and updated grounds and what this means for you. ๐๐ blog.openrent.co.uk/section-โฆ
Do you know how the #Section13 process works for raising rent?

Our blog breaks it all down so you're ready before the #RentersRightsAct comes into effect. ๐๐

"I put it on @OpenRent and was inundated. Within a day it was gone, and for far more rental income than it had had before."
Always a pleasure to hear directly from landlords how OpenRent helps them. Glad this beautiful Barbican flat found its tenants so quickly ๐
