The range includes a Renters’ Rights Act Guide for Advisers, a Renters’ Rights Act Timeline, outlining key implementation dates and changes, and a Broker Conversations Guide, featuring discussion points to help advisers identify landlords’ future borrowing needs, risks and opportunities.
Fleet Mortgages said the government’s announcement of phase two of the Renters’ Rights Act prompted the launch of the resources.
Steve Cox, chief commercial officer at Fleet Mortgages, said the latest announcement had provided greater clarity on “the next stage and exactly when landlords across England will need to act”.
Landlords will now be required to register their properties, with the scheme being introduced in phases between December 2026 and summer 2027.
Cox said the registration service was particularly significant because the government had confirmed regional implementation timetables, three-month registration periods and a £65 annual charge per property.

“For portfolio landlords in particular, that cost can quickly add up, while there is also a considerable amount of information they will need to have ready for each property,” he added.
Cox said advisers did not need to become experts in every aspect of the act but could ensure landlords were aware of the changes ahead and direct them towards the appropriate information.
He added that the legislation also presented a broader advice opportunity, as changes to costs and regulation could encourage landlords to review individual properties, portfolio structures, future purchases and financing arrangements.
Cox said the Renters’ Rights Act would continue to develop and further requirements were still expected, meaning it would not be a “one-off exercise”.
