  66.        <p>Yes. The new rules mean you can no longer use Section 21 for a “no-fault” eviction. If you need a tenant to leave, you’ll have to use Section 8 and give a clear reason — like selling the property, needing it for your own use, or a breach of the tenancy agreement. It’s not about removing your rights as a landlord, but about making the process fairer and more transparent.</p>    </div>

Tenants can stay as long as they like and give one month’s notice once they’ve been in the property for six months. This allows more flexibility for tenants, and for landlords, it means being more proactive with tenancy management.</p>    </div>

  151.        <p>Yes, there are financial penalties for non-compliance. If you don’t register with the redress scheme or fail to use the correct legal process when ending a tenancy, you could face fines of up to £5,000 per property.

  222.        <p>Yes. The rules Anti-Money Laundering rules for landlords and letting agents apply to every rental, even if you know the tenant personally. It may feel unnecessary to check the identity of a friend, family member, or long-term acquaintance, but AML regulations do not make exceptions as it is to ensure AML compliance to the UK rental market. Even trusted tenants must have their ID verified and be screened against the UK sanctions list. Skipping these checks could result in fines or legal issues if a problem arises later.</p>    </div>

Previously, only high-value rentals (£8,300+/month) were subject to AML laws, but as of May 2025, all landlords and letting agents must comply, regardless of rental price.

  273.        <p>This could be a red flag for money laundering! Always check where the money is coming from. Large cash payments, especially upfront, can be a sign that a tenant is using rental property to hide illegal money. Under the AML compliance to the UK rental market, landlords and agents must perform extra checks on tenants making unusually high payments. Ask for proof of funds (such as bank statements) and ensure the payment is coming from a legitimate source. If the tenant refuses to provide documentation, do not accept the cash and consider reporting it as suspicious activity.</p>    </div>

  290.        <p>Yes, the anti-money laundering rules for Landlords still applies to ensure AML compliance to the UK rental market. Even if you don’t use an agent, you must verify your tenant’s identity and check for sanctions. While letting agents have stricter compliance requirements, private landlords are still responsible for ensuring they do not rent to sanctioned individuals. If you fail to perform these checks and unknowingly rent to someone involved in financial crime, you could face serious legal consequences. It’s strongly recommended that private landlords follow the same verification steps as agents to stay compliant and protect their properties.</p>    </div>
