Renters' Rights Act 2026, Information Sheet

Download the official Information Sheet

The Information Sheet is a government-prescribed document, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The authoritative version is hosted on gov.uk. Click below to open / download the current PDF directly from the source. No login, no payment, no email required.

We deliberately link to gov.uk rather than re-hosting because the official version may be updated and the gov.uk copy is always authoritative. Save the PDF locally so you can serve it on each tenant.

Why this matters

Deadline: 31 May 2026. Every existing tenancy in England must have received the Information Sheet by end of day. First-class post is treated as served on the second working day, so a 31 May postmark is too late.
Per-tenant obligation. The duty is per named tenant, not per property. Two tenants named on the agreement = two service events.
Service method matters. Attach the PDF to an email (if email service is in your tenancy agreement), or send by first-class post, or deliver in person and get an acknowledgement. A link to a webpage does not comply.
Penalty: up to £7,000 per breach. Local housing authority can impose without a court hearing.
Keep a record. A dated record of service materially improves your position if a tenant later complains. Our Information Sheet Serving Pack (below) gives you a compliant cover letter, service log and certificate.

What this download is not

This is the bare PDF. It is the prescribed Information Sheet, and serving it satisfies your statutory duty, but it is not a serving pack. If you want a cover letter, a multi-tenant service log, and a dated certificate of service for your tenancy file, see the LetSafe Serving Pack on the right.

Optional

Want updates if MHCLG revises the sheet?

Drop your email below. We’ll send one short note if the Information Sheet is updated or if related Phase-1 guidance changes. No marketing, no list-sharing, unsubscribe any time.

Last reviewed: 17 May 2026 against the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 (Royal Assent 27.10.2025) and the published gov.uk Information Sheet. Information only, not legal advice. The official sheet is published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. We do not re-host it because the gov.uk version is authoritative.
