Help for landlords and tenants

Help for Landlords

Help to let your property

If you are a landlord with a house or flat to rent, you could let it through White Horse Lettings – our service dedicated to helping low income families stay in the local area.

Property licensing

A house in multiple occupation (HMO) needs a licence if it is occupied by five or more people who are not all members of the same household. See our mandatory licensing page for more details.

Renters’ Rights Act

The Renters’ Right Act will come into effect from 1 May 2026. Changes introduced by the act will bring in new rights and responsibilities for landlords, letting agents and tenants.

See the government’s roadmap for implementing the reforms on their website.

Renters’ Rights Act – guidance for landlords

Under the Renters’ Right Act landlords will have stronger legally valid reasons to get their properties back when needed – whether that’s to move in, sell up or deal with rent arrears or anti-social behaviour – delivering a fairer system for both sides.
