With the Renters’ Rights Act coming into force on 1 May, the rules for landlords are about to change for good. This is not another “heads up” or vague overview. This is the final Big Landlord Update before the law goes live, hosted at the Penventon Park Hotel, and it’s designed to give landlords clarity before the door closes.
If you are a self-managing landlord, or you feel you’re not getting straight answers from your current agent, this seminar is for you.
We’ll walk through what the Renters’ Rights Act actually means in practice, what landlords must stop doing, what must be done differently, and where enforcement will bite first. There is far less room for error under the new system, and once the legislation is live, there will be no grace period excuses.
Alongside the Renters’ Rights Act, landlords are also facing Making Tax Digital, new reporting expectations, changes to rent in advance rules, mandatory registration, and Ombudsman membership. On top of that, EPC standards are tightening again. Individually, each change is manageable. Together, they are catching landlords out.
This session is about keeping you ahead of the curve, not trapped dealing with problems after the fact.
We will explain the law in plain English, using real examples from Cornwall landlords. No jargon. No scare tactics. Just clear guidance on what you need to do now to stay compliant and in control.
What We’ll Cover on the Day:
The Renters’ Rights Act – What You Need to Do Now
The key changes coming into force on 1 May, what applies immediately, and what landlords should already be preparing for.
The End of Section 21 – How Possession Works Going Forward
What replaces Section 21, how landlords regain possession under the new rules, and where people will get stuck if they get it wrong.
Enforcement and Penalties – Who’s Watching and What They Can Do
Local authority powers, fines, investigations, and how enforcement will work in the real world.
Rent in Advance – What’s Still Allowed and What Isn’t
What landlords can legally request, what becomes prohibited, and the common mistakes we expect to see after 1 May.
Mandatory Landlord Register and Ombudsman Membership
Who must register, what information is required, how the Ombudsman works, and the consequences of failing to comply.
Pets in Lets – When You Can and Can’t Say No
The new default position on pets, what “reasonable refusal” actually means, and how landlords protect their property properly.
Making Tax Digital – Getting Your Records in Order
Who MTD applies to, what landlords will need to submit, and how to avoid last-minute scrambles with HMRC.
Energy Performance Certificates – What’s Coming Next
An update on EPC requirements and what landlords should be planning for now, not later.
Answering Your Burning Questions A live Q&A to clear the air and unlock the confusion before the rules lock in.
Who This Seminar Is For?
Self-managing landlords
Landlords with another agent who want clearer advice
Landlords concerned about compliance and enforcement
Landlords who want to protect their investment long-term
This is not a sales pitch. It’s a landlord briefing at a moment when getting things wrong will be far more costly than getting them right.
Seats are limited, and once the law goes live, this update becomes hindsight.
The seminar will take place at The Penventon Park Hotel, West End, Redruth, TR15 1TE GB.
The main session starts at 6:00pm and runs until approximately 8:30pm.
There will be a short mid-session break with complimentary refreshments provided.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to network before the event, during the break, and are welcome to continue conversations at the bar after the session concludes.
