Tenants with an existing written tenancy were due a copy of the government's Information Sheet by 31 May 2026. GOV.UK is specific about how it is given.
Not legal advice. Every figure on this page states what the linked gov.uk page says.
Most landlords and letting agents had to give the Information Sheet to tenants with an assured or assured shorthold tenancy that has written terms, by 31 May 2026.
Where a tenancy that began before 1 May 2026 had no written terms, the landlord had to give the full written information by the same date instead.

Letward does not change the Information Sheet. It links the GOV.UK PDF and logs who you gave it to, on what date and how, so you can show when it was served.
