Renters’ Reform 2026: Biggest Changes in Decades

The rental sector is about to undergo the most significant transformation in over 30 years and the countdown to 1st May 2026 has already begun.

With new announcements being released tomorrow, and major legal changes taking effect in 2026, this seminar will provide the first full Isle of Wight briefing on exactly what landlords and property professionals must prepare for.

This is NOT a general overview.

This is a practical, plain-English breakdown of what’s actually changing — and what you need to do before the deadline.

The government will announce tomorrow, that the 1st of May is the deadline to make the changes. The likely changes will enforce the following (I will update from tomorrow when clear)

• the removal or restriction of Section 21
• a new tenancy framework
• increased compliance responsibilities
• new possession grounds
• changes in enforcement and accountability
• major shifts in tenant rights
• and IOW-specific market pressures that will impact rents and yields

These changes affect every landlord, whether you own 1 property or 50.
