Does this work from 1 May 2026?+
Yes. The Lodger Agreement (Excluded Occupier) is aligned with the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 s.3A and is designed to be lawfully granted on or after the Renters' Rights Act 2025 Phase 1 commencement.

Yes — the template is licensed for unlimited use by a single private landlord across your own portfolio. It is not licensed for resale or for use by letting agents acting for third parties.
