The Renters' Rights Act
Since 1 May 2026, every tenancy in England works differently.
Fixed terms and section 21 have gone, rent rises follow a new process, and landlords who missed the Information Sheet deadline face fines of up to £7,000.
Questions
Before you call
Anything else, ask us. We reply within one working day.
What does 12% include?
Everything a let needs: finding and referencing a tenant, the tenancy agreement, deposit protection, collecting and chasing rent, arranging repairs, safety certificate reminders, two inspections a year and the paperwork the Renters' Rights Act now requires.
Is there VAT on top?
No. SYND LTD is not VAT registered, so 12% is the whole fee. Many agents quote a percentage and add 20% VAT.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. Either side can end management with two months' notice.
I already have a tenant. Can you take over?
Yes. We check the existing paperwork, register anything missing, introduce ourselves to your tenant and take over rent collection from the next payment date.
Do tenants pay you anything?
No. Tenant fees are banned in England and we charge tenants nothing beyond the payments the law allows, such as the deposit and rent.
