Practical Help With the New Rules — Not Rumours
Renters’ Rights Act Support for Doncaster Landlords
Concerned about what the Renters’ Rights Act means for your Doncaster rental property? At Kerrigans Property, we help landlords understand the changes in practical terms — possession, rent increases, paperwork and penalties — so you can keep letting with confidence. We stay on top of the legislation so you don’t have to.
- Practical, plain-English guidance
- Compliance looked after on managed lets
- Notices and paperwork done properly
- Not a substitute for legal advice
Why Landlords Are Concerned
The Act applies to the whole private rented sector in England, including Doncaster, and it changes how a tenancy runs from start to finish:
- The routes to regaining possession are changing
- Rent increases are becoming more formal
- Enforcement is tougher and penalties are higher
- There is more pressure on landlords to evidence fair practice
None of that needs to be frightening — but it does mean informal, handshake ways of working are a risk.
What We Recommend
- Audit your tenancy agreements, deposit protection and certificates — gas safety, EICR and EPC
- Stop informal processes that create risk, and put everything in writing
- Use clear, correctly served notices and documented rent discussions
- Keep records that show you have acted fairly and promptly
- Decide honestly whether self-managing still makes sense
This is practical guidance, not personal legal advice. For complex possession situations, take legal advice alongside your agent — and we can point you to the right people.
How Kerrigans Property Helps
For landlords on our managed service, compliance is part of the job. We keep the certificates, deposit protection and tenancy records in order, track the renewals, handle rent reviews properly and make sure every notice is correct and served on time.

If you are self-managing and would like a second pair of eyes, we are happy to talk it through.
