Key Post Summarising the rules for small landlords with existing tenancies

"tenancies will be kept up to date by the 2% maximum yearly rent cap or the six years reset of rents applying to smaller landlords."

"With first time tenancies created from 1 March 2026 onwards there will be a new distinction between landlords based onsize. For larger landlords, defined as havingfour or more tenancies, no fault evictions will be gone entirely, except in very limited circumstances. Smaller landlords, defined as having three tenancies or less, can reset rents every six years."


From the same page and both of these read to me that the 6 year reset only applies to small landlords.

I had thought that the six year increase applied to both types of landlord, but perhaps not as large landlord tenancies last forever. I am confused by this, but presumably IPAV know what they are talking about

If they are correct, is being a large landlord viable? The tenant can stay forever and the rent will continue to fall in real terms while the landlord remains liable for repairs and maintenance
