How to Rent Guides

If a landlord gives a new tenancy or a replacement tenancy from October 1st 2015 onwards, they need to comply with the prescribed information requirements for the new Section 21 form.

As part of this landlords must provide an up to date version of the How to rent: A checklist for renting in England booklet at the outset of the original tenancy.

Landlords are also required to provide a new copy at the outset of any subsequent tenancy, including statutory periodic tenancies, but only if there has been an update to the booklet.

To assist landlords with this requirement this page will archive all the different versions of How to rent. At the start of any new tenancy landlords should check this page against their current copy to make sure they are still up to date. If not a new copy should be downloaded and provided to the tenant at the start of their renewal.
