Landlords of Coventry

Firstly, welcome to our community, quick intro; my name is Patrick, I’m a Director of Red Brick Sales & Letting, an independently owned letting agency based in Coventry & Warwickshire. After being a landlord myself I moved into estate agency. 20 years later we are now portfolio landlords and run an award wining agency. We are all passionate about the Property Industry, in p

articular about the Private Rented Sector (PRS). Our goal is to create a forum where Landlords can discuss current issues affecting the industry and ask questions about things that are grey, because let’s be honest, it’s far from Black and White, legislation is forever changing and peoples interpretation can be very grey at times. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call on 0246 309000.

🚨 Renters’ Rights Act 🚨

Reports suggest the official Information Sheet was downloaded only around 153,000 times in the first 4 weeks.

England has around 2.3 million landlords.

Even if we QUADRUPLE that figure for agents sharing copies etc, that’s still only around 28% awareness/compliance.

Thats a lot of potential fines, possession failures and unnecessary heartache

Have you issued the new Renters’ Rights Act information sheet to your tenants yet? 👀

If not, why not ? get in touch.

A lot of landlords still don’t realise this needs dealing with — and the fines being discussed are likely to be eye-watering.

Friendly help, free guidance, and landlord-only support available 👍

👋 Are agents charging to issue renters rights act paperwork?

I'm seeing this question come up in other groups, and wanted to be transparent:

✅ At Red Brick, we do NOT charge landlords to issue renters rights documentation. It's part of the service.

If your current agent is billing separately for this, it may be worth a conversation — or a second opinion. Legally required paperwork protects everyone, and there's no reason it should come with a hidden fee.

Drop a comment below — we'd love to hear what others are seeing in the market. 👇

🚨 What a turnout last night 🚨

A huge thank you to everyone who came down to our Renters’ Rights Act 2025 session at Khushi Grill — the room was full and the conversations were even better.

It’s clear one thing…
Most landlords still don’t fully realise what’s coming — but those in the room last night are now ahead of the curve.

We covered:
✔ What’s actually changing (no noise, just facts)
✔ What landlords MUST do before May 2026
✔ The real risks if you get it wrong
✔ Where the opportunities are (and there are plenty)

I’ve been through every major change in the last 25 years…
This one is different — but those who act early will benefit.

If you missed it and want a straight-talking breakdown (no pressure, no sales),message me for a one to one, and I’ll get you booked in.

Looking forward to our next seminar in a few months.

🙋 Ask yourself:
If your tenant walked into the council tomorrow…
Would your property pass every check?

⚠️ Reality check for landlords
If a tenant goes to the council (especially after a dispute or notice), expect:

✔ Full compliance checks
✔ Paperwork scrutiny
✔ Property inspections

Councils now have MORE power than ever
Since last December, enforcement has stepped up massively:
• They can enter properties without prior notice
• They can access your financial info via banks & accountants
• They can run deeper, more aggressive investigations

🚨 Landlords – Important Renters’ Rights Bill Warning 🚨

Under the Renters’ Rights Bill, there is a serious financial penalty if you get this wrong 👇

If you regain possession using the “selling” or “moving back in” grounds (s16J(2)) and then re-let or re-market the property within the 12-month no-let period, you could face a fine of up to £25,000.

📌 This applies even if:
• You change agent
• You re-advertise “just to test the market”
• You let to a different type of tenant
• You say your circumstances changed

Local authorities will check portals, adverts and Land Registry activity.

⚠️ Using these grounds without genuine intent is now treated as misuse of possession grounds.

If you’re unsure:
✔️ Get advice before serving notice
✔️ Keep clear evidence of intent to sell or occupy
✔️ Understand the restrictions after possession

This Bill changes the risk profile for landlords — ignorance will be expensive.

Happy to talk this through with any landlord who’s unsure. ☕️
