RentSure
Updated for the Renters' Rights Act 2026 — your new rights, your new tools

The law changed.
Now you need the tools
to use your new rights.

The Renters' Rights Act gave you stronger protections than ever. RentSure makes renting simpler, safer and more transparent — from checking and signing to living and leaving.

We'll notify you when we launch.

Verify Before You Sign

Check the property and the landlord. Energy costs, flood risk, crime — plus registration, deposit protection, and safety certificates.

📸

Document From Day One

Move-in walkthroughs, timestamped photos, and condition reports that hold up in disputes. Your evidence base starts the day you get the keys.

💰

Protect Your Deposit

Clear records from move-in to move-out mean fewer disputes — and stronger evidence if one arises.

Sound familiar?

"The letting agent said it was 'cosy' — turns out the EPC rating is F and the heating bills are £200 a month."

"We moved in, found damp everywhere, and now the landlord says it was like that before. We have no proof."

"Lost £800 of my deposit for 'cleaning' and 'damages' that were there when I moved in."

4.6 million UK private renters. No single place to manage documents, track repairs, or build the evidence that protects your deposit.
Until now.

Renters' Rights Act 2026 — now in force

The biggest change to UK renting in decades.
Do you know what it means for you?

11 million private renters now have powerful new legal protections. But rights on paper only work if you know how to use them. That's where RentSure comes in.

🚫

Section 21 abolished

No-fault evictions are gone. Your landlord now needs a legal reason to evict you.

RentSure detects invalid eviction notices and tells you how to respond.

⏱️

Awaab's Law

Landlords must investigate damp and mould within 14 days and start repairs within 7 more. Miss the deadline? You can escalate.

RentSure will track repair deadlines when Awaab's Law commences for the private rented sector.

Currently applies to social housing — PRS commencement expected soon

🏠

Decent Homes Standard

Private rentals must now meet minimum condition standards for the first time ever.

RentSure checks property conditions against the standard before you sign.

💷

Rent increase limits

Only once per year, with 2 months' notice, and challengeable at tribunal if above market rate.

RentSure flags illegal rent increases and helps you challenge them.

⚖️

New PRS Ombudsman

A new binding dispute resolution service for tenant complaints — faster and cheaper than court.

RentSure builds your evidence pack and guides you through the submission.

🛡️

Retaliation protection

Complained about repairs and got an eviction notice? The Act protects you from landlord retaliation.

RentSure maintains the dated proof trail that proves retaliation.

🐾

Pets and improvements

Your landlord can't unreasonably refuse a pet or minor improvements like redecorating. You just need to ask properly.

RentSure generates the formal request and records the landlord's response.

🚫

Rental bidding ban

Landlords can't ask for more than the advertised rent. If they try, you need proof of what was originally listed.

RentSure records the advertised rent at the point you find the listing.

📋

Landlord registration

All landlords must register on the new PRS Database. Unregistered landlords face penalties and can't evict.

RentSure will check registration status when the PRS Database launches.

PRS Database expected ~2028/29

The Renters' Rights Act gave you the rights.
RentSure gives you the tools to use them.
