Keeping up with landlord legal responsibilities is essential when renting out a property. From gas safety certificates and electrical inspections to tenancy documentation and property licensing, there are several requirements landlords need to manage.

Statutory Provisions
Landlord compliance covers several areas of rental property safety, documentation and ongoing management. Our support focuses on helping you identify the requirements that apply to your property and keep relevant records organised.
Gas Safety Certificates
Landlords with gas appliances and flues must arrange annual gas safety checks through a Gas Safe registered engineer. We can help you monitor certificate expiry dates and identify when a new gas safety check is due.
Electrical Safety and EICR
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) records the condition of a property's electrical installation following an inspection by a qualified professional. We help landlords keep track of electrical inspection requirements and identify when an updated report may be needed.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
An Energy Performance Certificate provides information about a property's energy efficiency. We can help you monitor EPC availability and validity, identify outstanding requirements and understand the applicable minimum energy-efficiency rules for rented properties.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are important parts of rental property safety. We help landlords identify applicable alarm requirements and keep checks and any necessary remedial work on their compliance checklist.
Tenancy Deposit Compliance
Where tenancy deposit protection rules apply, landlords must protect the deposit using an authorised scheme and provide the required prescribed information within the relevant timeframe. We can help you track deposit compliance requirements and organise the associated records.
Right to Rent Checks
Landlords in England must complete the applicable Right to Rent checks for prospective adult tenants before the tenancy begins. We can help landlords identify the required checks, record completion and keep relevant documentation organised in line with the applicable rules.
Property Inspections
Regular property inspections can help landlords identify maintenance concerns, potential hazards and issues that may require attention. We help landlords keep inspection records organised and identify follow-up actions that could affect property safety or compliance.
Property and HMO Licensing
Some rental properties require a licence under local authority rules, including certain houses in multiple occupation (HMOs). We help landlords identify potential licensing requirements and monitor application, renewal and related compliance tasks.
Tenancy Documentation
Accurate tenancy documentation helps landlords maintain clear records throughout a tenancy. Depending on the property and tenancy, this may include tenancy agreements, prescribed information, safety records and other documents that must be provided to tenants.
Compliance Monitoring
Compliance requirements can arise at different stages of a tenancy and may change over time. We help landlords maintain an organised overview of important certificates, documentation, inspection dates and outstanding actions so that upcoming deadlines are easier to track.

FAQ
Landlord compliance means meeting the legal and safety requirements that apply when renting out a property. These may include gas safety, electrical inspections, EPC requirements, alarms, deposit protection, tenant checks, licensing and tenancy documentation.
Requirements depend on the property and its circumstances. Common examples include an annual gas safety record where gas appliances or flues are present, an EICR under applicable electrical safety rules, and a valid EPC where required.
For most private rented properties in England covered by the electrical safety regulations, an inspection is required at least every five years, or sooner if the report specifies an earlier inspection date.
No. Licensing requirements depend on the property type, occupancy and applicable local authority rules. Certain HMOs and properties covered by selective licensing schemes may require a licence.
Yes. Landlords must provide the alarms required by the applicable regulations and ensure they work at the start of a new tenancy. Relevant requirements also cover repairing or replacing faulty alarms when notified.
The consequences depend on the requirement and circumstances. A missed deadline may lead to enforcement action, financial penalties or other legal difficulties. Landlords should address outstanding requirements promptly and seek appropriate advice where necessary.
