The Renters' Rights Act comes into force 1 May 2026

Big changes are coming for UK tenants. Are you ready?

The Renters' Rights Act is the biggest shake-up of tenant rights in a generation. It abolishes Section 21 “no fault” evictions, strengthens deposit protections, and gives tenants new rights to challenge unfair rent increases. But your tenancy agreement still matters — landlords may try to include clauses that don't reflect the new law. Get your agreement checked before you sign.

⚠️ Clauses to Watch Out For

⚠️ Watch Out
No specific deposit protection scheme named
While the agreement mentions protection, it doesn't specify which scheme (DPS, MyDeposits, or TDS). You're entitled to the certificate within 30 days of paying.
Vague landlord repair obligations
The landlord's repair duties are minimal compared to what the law actually requires. There are specific responsibilities around heating and plumbing that should be explicit.
Inventory agreement clause could cause disputes
The wording around inventory sign-off is non-standard and could be used against you at check-out. Here's what to push back on.

✅ Overall Impression

🔒 Unlocked in full report

This looks like a fairly standard and reasonable tenancy agreement. The rent seems appropriate for Cambridge, the deposit is within legal limits, and there aren't any obviously unfair terms. However, it's quite basic and lacks some detail you'd expect to see — particularly around the landlord's repair obligations and emergency procedures. The biggest concern is that the deposit protection details aren't specified, which you'll definitely want to clarify before signing.

What renters say

Real feedback from people who've used MyTenancyCheck.

“The report highlighted a vague cleaning clause and an unfair notice term I would never have spotted on my own. It gave me confidence before signing.”

Emma R. — Manchester · private renter, March 2026

“For £9.50, this probably saved me far more in future hassle. It explained the risky parts of the agreement in plain English instead of legal jargon.”

Daniel H. — Bristol · first-time tenant, February 2026

“I was under pressure to sign quickly, and this gave me a fast second opinion that helped me slow down and ask the landlord the right questions.”

Sophie M. — Leeds · renter, March 2026

“What I liked most was that it didn't just say something was risky — it explained why it mattered and what to question before committing.”

James T. — London · flat renter, January 2026

“The report picked up points about deposit wording, repairs, and ending the tenancy that I had completely missed. It made me feel much less exposed going into the agreement.”

Rebecca L. — Birmingham · tenant, March 2026
