The rental market remains active in May 2026, but conditions are changing. Demand is still strong, rent growth has eased, and tenant expectations are rising. Here is what landlords should be thinking about now.

Most landlords think their compliance is in order—until a small oversight causes a big problem. One missed document or expired certificate could affect your legal position. When did you last check that everything is fully up to date?

In May 2026, pricing strategy matters more than ever. With more homes on the market and buyers watching affordability closely, setting the right asking price can make all the difference to your next move.

At Harrisons Lettings and Management we wanted to make our landlords aware of our Rent Protection & Legal Expenses cover, which many landlords are now choosing as their preferred management option.
