Keeping landlords safe
The rules keep changing and nobody sends you the list. We track every requirement, what is coming next, and what each one means you should do, verified monthly.
Everything tagged compliance: the content we keep updated as the rules change.
What is in force, what is coming, and what is only proposed, each with the one thing it means you should do. Reviewed monthly.
Section 21 abolished, all tenancies periodic, no letting above the advertised asking rent, possession through Section 8 only.
Reference thoroughly, take an independent inventory, price correctly up front
Gas safety annually, EICR every five years, a valid EPC before letting, deposit protected in a scheme, ICO registration for tenant data.
Check every certificate date in one sitting; diarise renewals
Nearly 400,000 licensed properties in England and growing as more councils adopt schemes. Whether you need a license depends on the postcode.
Check your council's scheme before every new tenancy
The Act removes the two-year wait for lease extensions and freehold claims, while making Right to Manage easier and cheaper. It also strengthens rentcharge and building-safety protections, including recovery of certain related costs.
No action yet but quicker access to lease extensions/freehold purchase and greater control through Right to Manage
Significant changes to EPC requirements are due, likely to require investment in energy performance for many rental properties.

Statuses: in force means the rule applies now; commencing means enacted or scheduled with a date; proposed means publicly floated but not law. Each entry is verified against the source legislation on the monthly review.
Compliance is cheap next to the alternative. The certificate set is a few hundred pounds a year; the penalties are not.
What the top 50 councils have earned in licensing revenue. Enforcement is funded and motivated.
Figures from the Landlord Economics report (May 2026) and its cited sources where marked; penalty figures are placeholders pending verification from source legislation.
The standing set: an annual gas safety certificate for any gas appliances, an EICR at least every five years, a valid EPC before the property is marketed, deposit protection in a government scheme, and ICO registration because you handle tenant data. Budget around £205 a year annualised for the certificate group.
From 1 May 2026: Section 21 is gone, every tenancy is periodic, you cannot accept above the advertised asking rent, and possession runs through Section 8 grounds in court. The practical consequence: referencing, an independent inventory and rent protection have moved from optional to essential, because mistakes are slower and costlier to unwind.
Significant changes to EPC requirements are due in October 2030 and are likely to require investment in energy performance for many rental properties. The exact scope is still being finalised, which is exactly why the timetable above carries a verified date rather than a rumour. If it changes, subscribers hear first.
When a rule changes, commences or moves from proposed to law, we email you what it means and what to do.
