Landlord Compliance Checklist

Our step-by-step checklist takes you through everything you need to know as a landlord to stay compliant with lettings legislation.

You may have seen or heard that the Government recently commitment to the Rental Reform White Paper proposals, suggesting they’ll be with us sooner rather than later. The proposed changes will be the biggest overhaul of the Private Lettings Sector ever!

The major shake-up proposes steps such as the abolishment of section 21 notices, changes to rules around accepting pets, arbitrary rent review clauses, doubling notice periods on rent increases, giving tenants stronger powers to challenge proposed rent increases, the introduction of a compulsory Landlord Ombudsman and a Compliance Portal open to the public domain, meaning Tenants, Trading Standards and local councils will have oversight of your portfolio and compliance matters.

Other changes include moving tenancies onto a single system of periodic tenancies, meaning they can leave poor quality housing without remaining liable for the rent or move more easily when their circumstances change.

Furthermore, local Councils will have stronger powers to tackle the worst offenders, backed by growing enforcement teams and increasing fines and penalties for serious offences.

With there already being around 168 pieces of legislation and 400 regulations Landlords are having to adhere to - now is the time to be absolutely sure you are running a compliant tenancy and property.

With news and stories increasing on a weekly basis surrounding fines and enforcement orders, we have taken steps to create our very own Landlord Compliance Checklist and for a limited time we are offering the checklist for FREE.

This step-by-step checklist takes you through everything you need to know as a landlord to stay compliant and have peace of mind that you are on top of everything.
