The landlord compliance checklist for 2026

Letting a property comes with legal responsibilities, and getting them right protects both you and your tenants. Before a tenancy begins you'll need a valid Gas Safety Certificate, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

You must also carry out Right to Rent checks, protect the deposit in a government-approved scheme, and provide tenants with the required prescribed information. Guarantors and tenants should supply photo ID and proof of address dated within the last three months.

It's a lot to keep on top of, which is why our Fully Managed service handles inspections, compliance monitoring, rent collection and repairs for you. As members of Client Money Protection and MyDeposits, your investment is in safe hands.
