Mistoria Landlord Information Pack

LANDLORD, THE RULES HAVE CHANGED... CAN WE HELP? Since 1 May 2026, Section 21 has been abolished and every new tenancy must be an Assured Periodic Tenancy — with new deadlines and penalties of up to £7,000 per breach. Many landlords are unsure if their paperwork still stacks up. The Mistoria Landlord Information Pack has been put together by our lettings and compliance team to help you navigate the new regulations with confidence — in plain English, with the documents you actually need.

WHAT'S INSIDE THE PACK:

• Ready-to-use APT template — a fully updated Assured Periodic Tenancy agreement, compliant with the Renters’ Rights Act 2025.
• Section 8 possession guide — plain-English overview of the grounds for possession now available, and the notice periods that apply.
• Information Sheet 2026 checklist.
• Rent increase (Section 13) guidance — the only lawful route to a rent increase, and how to serve it correctly.
• Fire alarm checksheet — a simple record sheet for testing and logging smoke and heat alarms, so you can evidence compliance if it’s ever challenged.
• Your new obligations, explained — pet requests, the cap on rent in advance, and the ban on rental bidding wars — what they mean for you.
• Advice from real specialists — practical guidance from Mistoria’s lettings and compliance team, not just a copy of the Act.
