8 plain-English questions. A personalised compliance score. A prioritised action plan showing exactly what to fix — and how.
Question 1 of 8
This helps us understand the scale of your compliance exposure and whether portfolio-specific rules apply to you.
Question 2 of 8
The Renters' Rights Act came into force in May 2026. Tenancies that started before this date need to be reviewed — and may need updating.
Question 3 of 8
A property let to 3+ unrelated tenants sharing a kitchen or bathroom is likely an HMO. Unlicensed HMOs carry fines of up to £30,000 per property.
Question 4 of 8
Gas safety certificates must be renewed annually. A lapse can result in a fine and — critically — invalidate your ability to serve a possession notice.
Question 5 of 8
Protecting the deposit is only step one. You must also serve the prescribed information — a separate document — within 30 days. Getting this wrong can result in a penalty of up to three times the deposit amount.
Question 6 of 8
The Renters' Rights Act requires landlords to provide the government's official tenant information document at the start of a tenancy. Many landlords haven't heard of it.
Question 7 of 8
Any landlord who holds tenant personal data — names, addresses, references — is a data controller under UK GDPR and must register with the ICO. Most self-managing landlords aren't registered. The annual fee is £40–60.
Question 8 of 8
EICRs must be carried out every 5 years in rented properties. Failure to comply can result in a fine of up to £30,000 and may prevent you from legally letting the property.
