A Live Interactive Webinar for Tenants
by Husmus & Crisis
📅 Tuesday, February 24, 2026 | 🕒 12:30 – 13:15 PM GMT 📍 Online | 🎟️ Cost: Free
The biggest change to renting in 30 years is almost here. Know your rights.
On May 1, 2026, the Renters' Rights Act takes effect - ending "no-fault" evictions, capping upfront costs, and introducing new protections for tenants.
But what does this actually mean in practice?
Understanding your new rights helps you find and keep good housing. Whether you're worried about moving costs, want to request a pet, or need to know how the new eviction rules work - this session gives you the practical information you need.
Husmus has partnered with Crisis, the national charity ending homelessness, to explain the changes clearly and show you how to navigate the new system.
This is about understanding what's changing and what you can do.
(Join us live to get clear answers from the Crisis Policy Team and Husmus)
🎁 Bonus: By registering, you’ll also receive our Rental Toolkit, a clear summary of the key changes to keep you informed for the year ahead.
What We’ll Explore Together:
✓ The New Eviction Framework: Understand the transition away from “no-fault” evictions and how the updated system works.
✓ Upfront Cost Changes: New rules limiting rent in advance to 1 month maximum. What this means for moving costs and what landlords can still request.
✓ Rent Increase Process: How the new rent review system works and your right to challenge increases you believe are above market rate.
✓ Inclusive Housing Access: The new rules on pets, benefits, and families. How to make formal requests and understand reasonable criteria.
✓ Flexible Tenancies: All tenancies become periodic from May 1st. What this means for notice periods and your ability to move when needed.
🎁 What You'll Get
Live on the day:
- Clear explanations of the new rules (no legal jargon)
- Practical examples and real scenarios
- Your questions answered by housing experts (you can send your questions ahead during registration)
