The government has created a legal obligation for every private landlord in England to deliver an official document to every existing tenant — by 31 May 2026, with fines up to £7,000 for non-compliance. Then they forgot to include any way for you to prove you actually did it.
No receipt. No acknowledgment form. No proof-of-delivery mechanism. You're legally required to deliver the Information Sheet, but if your tenant denies receiving it — or the local authority questions your compliance — you have nothing.
Three steps. Around 10 minutes. Full compliance evidence on file.
The Information Sheet is a free 4-page PDF published by the UK Government on 20 March 2026. You must use the official version — third-party copies, screenshots, or reformatted versions are not valid.

Renters' Rights Pack — £99 (save 59%)Any landlord with existing tenants who has a written tenancy agreement must provide the Government Information Sheet by 31 May 2026.
Information sheet receipts provide proof of delivery to existing tenants by 31 May 2026 deadline, mandatory under Renters' Rights Act 2025 Schedule 6 requirements.
The Government Information Sheet is an official document published under the Renters' Rights Act 2025 (paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 6). It is a one-off transitional document explaining how the Renters' Rights Act 2025 changes existing tenancies — similar in purpose to the How to Rent guide but specific to the RRA 2025 transition. It contains essential information about tenants' rights and responsibilities under the new regime.
This receipt template solves the proof-of-delivery problem — giving landlords documented evidence of compliance.
Three acceptable delivery methods include hand delivery, post, and email with consent, each requiring signed receipt documentation for compliance proof.
Whichever method you use, get the tenant to sign and date the receipt. Keep a copy in your tenancy file. You may need to produce it years later if your compliance is questioned.
Our receipt includes landlord details, property address, all tenant names with individual signature lines, delivery method confirmation, version tracking, and compliance status checking.

Common mistakes include missing the deadline, not covering all joint tenants, no signed proof, emailing without consent, providing outdated versions, and not keeping copies.
Our receipt template addresses all of these issues with built-in fields for every required detail.
Print the receipt and have each named tenant sign and date it in person. Both landlord/agent and tenant should retain a signed copy. Store your copy in the tenancy file — you may need to produce it if the local authority questions your compliance. The deadline is 31 May 2026.
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 requires you to provide the Government Information Sheet but gives landlords no built-in proof-of-delivery mechanism.
A signed receipt is your evidence of compliance. Without it, you may be unable to demonstrate that you met your obligation if the local authority questions it.
All existing tenants who have a written tenancy agreement must receive the Government Information Sheet by 31 May 2026.
This includes assured shorthold tenancies, assured tenancies, and any other tenancy with a written agreement. Each named tenant on a joint tenancy should sign the receipt.
Yes, but only if the tenant has consented to receiving documents electronically.
Important: You must attach the actual PDF file to the email. Sending a link to the document — even a link to the gov.uk page — is not valid electronic service under the legislation. The tenant must be given the document itself.
If you choose email delivery, our receipt template includes an electronic delivery consent acknowledgment for the tenant to sign, confirming they agreed to this method.
No. This is a straightforward delivery receipt — not a legal agreement. Most landlords complete it without professional help.
Our template is structured following the requirements of the Renters' Rights Act 2025, with clear guidance throughout. Consider professional advice only if you have complex circumstances.

£10 one-time. That's it. No subscriptions, no recurring fees, no "free trial" traps.
Here's what we don't do: Other sites advertise "free templates" — you spend 15 minutes filling one in, then they demand your card for a "free trial" that charges £35–£42/month when you forget to cancel. Worse, many are US-based and won't hold up under UK law. (Read about the scam)
We're different: £10 upfront for the document you actually need. Build it, preview it, pay only when you're happy. Own it forever with free lifetime updates. Based on UK law. No subscription fatigue.
