The Renters' Rights Act 2025 begins 1 May 2026, ending Section 21 no-fault evictions and introducing a Private Rented Sector Database. For those asking Do landlords need an EICR in Islington, compliance becomes more visible, with expanded council enforcement and tenant access to records.
The 2026 Renewal Wave
EICRs issued in April–May 2021 now hit the five-year renewal point in spring 2026, creating peak demand for EICR Islington services. Engineer availability tightens, delaying bookings. Pre-booking is essential, as “reasonable steps” rely on dated evidence of attempts to secure inspections.
