Whether you inherited a tenancy, couldn't sell, or moved out temporarily — you're a landlord now. LandlordAssist gives you a compliance checklist in 60 seconds and handles every deadline automatically.
200+ UK landlords on the waitlist — many started exactly where you are
The clock is already running. Miss it and you face a court-ordered penalty of up to 3× the deposit.
No-fault evictions are abolished. You need to understand your rights before you ever need to use them.
Your tenant can report you to the HSE today. No warning. No grace period. This is criminal liability.
Becoming a landlord unexpectedly doesn't exempt you from the law. These eight steps, in this order, will get you legal and protected.
You have 30 days from the date the deposit was paid to register it with a government-approved scheme (DPS, MyDeposits, or TDS). Missing this window means a court can award your tenant up to 3× the deposit value — on top of returning it.
Once the deposit is protected, you must serve your tenant with the scheme's prescribed information and the government's How to Rent guide (RRA information sheet). This is mandatory even if the tenancy started informally.
A valid Gas Safe-registered engineer must inspect all gas appliances annually. You need a current CP12 certificate. If you inherited a tenancy from a previous landlord, check when it was last done — it may have lapsed.
An EICR is required every five years (or on a change of tenancy). It must be carried out by a qualified electrician. If the property was inherited or recently vacated, there may be no record at all — treat this as urgent.
The property must have an EPC rating of E or above. A rating of F or G means you cannot legally let it without an exemption. The minimum standard rises to C by 2030 — but you need to know where you stand now.
If the property still has a residential mortgage and you didn't originally intend to let it, your lender almost certainly requires you to either switch to a buy-to-let product or obtain formal consent to let. Renting without permission is a breach of your mortgage terms.
Section 21 no-fault eviction is abolished from May 2026. You can only end a tenancy using Section 8, which requires specific grounds — rent arrears, property damage, anti-social behaviour, or intent to sell. You must be fully compliant before serving any notice.
Mandatory landlord registration for England is expected to go live in late 2026. Wales and Scotland already have registration requirements. Getting set up early means you won't scramble when enforcement begins.
