Impact of the Renters' Rights Act 2025 on mixed-use properties

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 (the Act), which came into force on 1 May 2026, represents the most comprehensive reforms to the Private Rented Sector (PRS) in over 30 years. While the Act does not apply directly to commercial leases, it has important indirect implications for commercial property transactions, particularly where assets have both commercial and residential uses. This is therefore particularly prevalent for landlords of mixed-use properties, such as where a property consists of a shop and a flat with different tenancies.
