Rules that apply in Ashton-under-Lyne
If you rent privately in Ashton-under-Lyne, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 now shapes your tenancy: most tenancies run from one rent period to the next, rent can usually only be raised once a year through a formal process, and no-fault evictions have ended. Affordable options in England include Social Rent, Affordable Rent at up to 80% of market rent, and shared ownership. Land to Homes plans homes for sale and rent, and you can register interest now.

Your questions answered for Ashton-under-Lyne
How do I register interest in renting a new home?
Give us your contact details, the areas you are interested in, the type and size of home you need and roughly when you want to move. We use that to contact you about relevant homes and to understand rental demand when we plan sites. It is free, it is not an application and you can ask us to remove your details at any time.
How are tenancies different in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
In Wales, tenants are contract-holders under occupation contracts set by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. Most private tenancies in Scotland are open-ended private residential tenancies. In Northern Ireland, private tenancies are governed by the Private Tenancies Order, as amended by the Private Tenancies Act 2022. Each nation has its own rules on deposits, notice and landlord registration.
What is build to rent?
Build to rent means homes designed and built specifically for renting, usually owned by one landlord and professionally managed as a whole development. Schemes often include on-site management and shared spaces. Land to Homes talks to institutional partners about build to rent, but we have no build to rent homes available at present.
What kind of tenancy would I get in England?
Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, most new private tenancies in England are assured periodic tenancies with no fixed end date, and section 21 'no fault' evictions have ended. Landlords must rely on specified grounds to seek possession. Social housing tenancies follow different rules. For advice on your own circumstances, speak to an independent housing adviser.
