Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) ▼
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regs 1998, reg.36 · Cert ref: GS-2025-00412 · British Gas Engineer
Renewed 04 Apr 2025
Expires 03 Apr 2026
Expires 03 Apr 2026
Evidenced
⚠ Renewal due
Why this is required
Every gas appliance and flue in a rented property must be checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The CP12 certificate proves the check was carried out. Without it, the landlord cannot lawfully let the property and cannot serve a valid Section 21 notice (or, post-RRA 2025, may affect possession proceedings under Section 8).
If you don’t comply
Criminal liability under the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998. Unlimited fine and up to six months imprisonment on summary conviction. A lapsed gas certificate may affect enforceability of rent and possession proceedings. Tenants in properties with an unsafe gas installation have rights of action against the landlord under housing legislation.
What LettingsLedger captures
Certificate upload with timestamp. Proof of service to each adult occupier. Expiry date tracking with 60/30/7-day advance warnings. Google Calendar integration. Audit trail entry for each renewal. Compliance score weighted — this task carries the highest possession-prerequisite weight.
🔒 This task is flagged as a possession prerequisite — the system flags this as requiring attention before re-signing the compliance declaration.

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) ▼
Electrical Safety Standards Regs 2020 · Report ref: EICR-2022-BRS-0091 · Satisfactory rating
Completed 06 Nov 2022
Expires 05 Nov 2027
Expires 05 Nov 2027
Evidenced
Why this is required
All private rented properties must have a satisfactory EICR by a qualified electrician at least every five years (or more frequently if the report recommends it). The report must be given to the tenant within 28 days of the inspection and to local authorities within 7 days if requested.
If you don’t comply
Local housing authority can issue a remediation notice and carry out remedial works at the landlord’s expense. Financial penalty up to £30,000 per property. Cannot rely on certain Section 8 possession grounds without a valid EICR.
What LettingsLedger captures
Report upload with satisfactory/unsatisfactory status. Any remedial action logged separately. Tenant service confirmation with timestamp. Five-year expiry tracking. Local authority copy workflow if requested. Possession-prerequisite flag active.
✓
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ▼
Energy Efficiency (Private Rented) Regs 2015 · Band D (61) · RRN: 2190-9823-0012-3400-5091
Issued 12 Jan 2023
Valid to 11 Jan 2033
Valid to 11 Jan 2033
Evidenced
Why this is required
A valid EPC (minimum Band E — proposed Band C from 2028) must be provided to prospective tenants before viewing and to the actual tenant at tenancy start. Valid for 10 years. The RRN (Register Reference Number) allows independent verification of the certificate on the government register.
If you don’t comply
Fine of up to £5,000 for failing to provide a valid EPC. Properties below the minimum rating cannot be lawfully let. Failure affects possession proceedings — no EPC served means a Section 21 notice (pre-RRA 2025) would be invalid.
What LettingsLedger captures
Certificate upload with band rating and RRN. Service to tenant confirmed and timestamped. 10-year expiry tracking with advance warnings. Legislative change alert active: proposed Band C minimum will auto-flag this task for review when confirmed.
Property safety & condition
✓
Smoke alarm test record (per floor) ▼
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regs 2015 (as amended 2022) · 2 alarms tested at tenancy start
Tested 14 Jan 2024
Periodic test: 14 Jan 2025
Periodic test: 14 Jan 2025
Evidenced
Why this is required
At least one smoke alarm on every floor used as living accommodation, tested and confirmed working at the start of each tenancy. Landlords must repair or replace any faulty alarms promptly. The test must be documented — a verbal record is not sufficient evidence.
If you don’t comply
Local authority remediation notice. Civil penalty up to £5,000. In the event of a fire where alarms were not fitted or tested, landlords face significantly greater civil and potentially criminal exposure.
What LettingsLedger captures
Test record at tenancy commencement with number of alarms, floor locations, and test result. Periodic test reminders. Each test logged as a separate audit trail entry.
✓
Carbon monoxide alarm (gas appliance present) ▼
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regs 2022 · Fitted adjacent to gas boiler
Installed 14 Jan 2024
Tested 14 Jan 2024
Tested 14 Jan 2024
Evidenced
Why this is required
Since October 2022, a carbon monoxide alarm is required in any room containing a fixed combustion appliance (boiler, fire, etc). The 2022 amendment extended this from solid fuel to all fuel types including gas. Must be tested at tenancy start.
If you don’t comply
Remediation notice from local authority and civil penalty up to £5,000. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless — failure to fit an alarm is treated seriously by enforcement authorities.
What LettingsLedger captures
Installation location recorded, test result at tenancy start, periodic test reminders. Conditional task — only appears if assessment confirms a fixed combustion appliance is present.
✓
Legionella risk assessment ▼
HSE ACOP L8 · Low-risk assessment completed · Control measures documented
Assessed 10 Jan 2024
Evidenced
Why this is required
All landlords have a duty under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and COSHH Regulations 2002 to assess and control Legionella risk in water systems. For most domestic properties this is a low-risk, straightforward assessment that the landlord can carry out themselves. The HSE expects a documented record, not just awareness.
If you don’t comply
HSE enforcement, improvement notice, or prosecution under health and safety legislation. Less commonly enforced than gas or electrical obligations, but failure to have documentation is increasingly cited in enforcement actions — particularly in HMO and multi-occupancy contexts.
What LettingsLedger captures
Assessment report generated by the platform’s AI document engine using the property’s specific profile. Risk level recorded (most domestic properties: low). Control measures documented. Periodic review reminder set.
✓
Fitness for human habitation check ▼
Landlord & Tenant Act 1985, ss.9A–9C · No category 1 or 2 hazards identified
Inspected 10 Jan 2024
Re-inspected 10 Jan 2026
Re-inspected 10 Jan 2026
Evidenced
Why this is required
Since March 2019, all private residential tenancies in England must be fit for human habitation at the start of and throughout the tenancy. Fitness is assessed against 29 hazard categories (HHSRS). Landlords must not let a property with known category 1 or category 2 hazards and must maintain it in a habitable condition throughout.
If you don’t comply
Tenants can take landlords to court without needing local authority involvement. Court can award damages and injunctions. No financial penalty cap — awards vary by severity of hazard, duration, and impact on tenant.
What LettingsLedger captures
Initial inspection record at tenancy start with hazard categories checked. Periodic re-inspection record. Any category 1 or 2 hazard identified triggers a mandatory action task. Audit trail shows inspection history.
N/A
Furniture fire safety compliance ▼
Furniture & Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regs 1988 · Not applicable — property let unfurnished
Assessed 10 Jan 2024
Not applicable
Why this task exists
Where a property is let furnished, all upholstered furniture must carry the required fire safety labels and meet the 1988 Regulations’ standards. This includes sofas, armchairs, cushions, mattresses, and bed bases. Non-compliant furniture must be removed before letting.
Consequence if furnished and missed
Criminal offence. Fine up to £5,000 and/or 6 months imprisonment per item of non-compliant furniture. Trading Standards can seize and destroy non-compliant items.
Why it shows as N/A here
The assessment asked whether the property is let furnished. Sarah Mitchell confirmed unfurnished at enrolment. LettingsLedger records this assessment decision in the audit trail so the N/A determination is evidenced, not simply absent.

Deposit protection & Prescribed Information ▼
Housing Act 2004, s.213 · MyDeposits · Certificate ref: MYD-2024-00921 · PI served and signed
Protected 14 Jan 2024
PI served 14 Jan 2024
PI served 14 Jan 2024
Evidenced
Why this is required
Any deposit taken from a tenant must be protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of receipt. The Prescribed Information (scheme details, dispute process, etc.) must be served on the tenant and any third-party payer within 30 days. Both steps must be documented with proof of service.
If you don’t comply
Court can order the landlord to repay the deposit AND a penalty of 1–3× the deposit amount. Failure also means a Section 21 notice (pre-RRA 2025) cannot be served. Post-RRA 2025, affects Section 8 proceedings.
What LettingsLedger captures
Scheme name and certificate reference. Protection date (within 30-day window). Prescribed Information document generated, served, and tenant acknowledgement recorded. Both steps logged separately in audit trail. Possession-prerequisite flag active.
✓
Right to rent checks — all adult occupiers ▼
Immigration Act 2014, s.22 · 2 adults checked · Copies retained per statutory guidance
Checked 12 Jan 2024
Follow-up: not required
Follow-up: not required
Evidenced
Why this is required
Landlords must verify that every adult who will occupy the property has the right to rent in the UK before the tenancy begins. This applies to all occupiers aged 18 or over, regardless of nationality. Follow-up checks are required for those with time-limited right to remain.
If you don’t comply
Landlords can face a civil penalty of up to £20,000 per occupier (as of 2024 increases) for failing to carry out checks, or criminal prosecution for knowingly letting to those without the right to rent.
What LettingsLedger captures
Number of adults checked, document types verified, check date. Follow-up date if applicable (time-limited right to remain). Check record generated and timestamped. Audit trail entry for each check and each follow-up.
✓
How to Rent guide — correct version served ▼
Assured Shorthold Tenancy Notices Regs 2015 · Version: Oct 2023 · Served via email with delivery confirmation
Served 14 Jan 2024
Evidenced
Why this is required
The government’s How to Rent guide must be provided to every assured shorthold (now assured) tenant at the start of each tenancy. Critically, it must be the current version at the time of serving — an outdated version does not satisfy the obligation. The guide is updated periodically (most recently for RRA 2025 implementation).
If you don’t comply
Serving the wrong version, or not serving at all, invalidated a Section 21 notice under the old regime. Under Section 8 proceedings it remains a factor courts may consider. A landlord who cannot prove they served the correct version has no documentary defence.
What LettingsLedger captures
Version date recorded at point of service. Service method and delivery confirmation logged. Legislative change alert active — when the guide is updated (expected May/Jun 2026 for RRA 2025), LettingsLedger flags the task for re-service to existing tenants where required.
✓
Landlord address for service ▼
Landlord & Tenant Act 1987, s.48 · Notice served in writing prior to first rent due date
Served 14 Jan 2024
Evidenced
Why this is required
A landlord must provide the tenant with a written notice of an address in England or Wales at which notices (including legal proceedings) can be served on them. This must be done before the first rent payment is due. Without it, the tenant is not required to pay rent — it is automatically treated as owing but not legally collectable until notice is served.
If you don’t comply
Rent is not legally payable until the notice is served. While rarely enforced directly, a tenant challenging possession proceedings can raise failure to serve s.48 notice as a defence. Landlords without documentary evidence of service are exposed.
What LettingsLedger captures
Address for service recorded. Notice generated by the platform and timestamped. Service confirmation logged. One of the less commonly tracked obligations — LettingsLedger includes it because courts and possession proceedings increasingly scrutinise the full compliance record.
✓
Written statement of tenancy terms ▼
Renters’ Rights Act 2025, s.6 · Assured periodic tenancy · Terms confirmed in writing
Updated 01 May 2026
RRA 2025
Why this is required
From 1 May 2026, all tenancies are assured periodic tenancies by default — fixed terms are abolished. Landlords must provide a written statement of the tenancy terms including rent, payment date, and any permitted variations. This replaces the AST document under the previous regime.
RRA 2025 context
New obligation created by the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 from 1 May 2026. Existing tenants whose fixed terms ended on or after that date automatically became assured periodic tenants. Landlords must confirm the terms of the ongoing tenancy in writing.
What LettingsLedger captures
Written statement generated and served. Tenant acknowledgement recorded. Audit trail entry. LettingsLedger automatically flagged this task for all existing enrolments on 1 May 2026 via its legislative change alert system.
Renters’ Rights Act 2025 obligations

RRA Information Sheet — served to existing tenant ▼
Renters’ Rights Act 2025 · MHCLG official document (May 2026 edition) · Served by email 8 May 2026
Served 08 May 2026
Deadline: 31 May 2026
Deadline: 31 May 2026
RRA 2025
Why this is required
The MHCLG-published Information Sheet explains the changes introduced by the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 to existing tenants. All landlords with existing tenants must serve the official document by 31 May 2026. New tenants from 1 May 2026 must receive it at or before tenancy start. Only the official government document satisfies the obligation — a landlord’s own summary does not.
RRA 2025 context
A completely new obligation with a hard deadline of 31 May 2026 for existing tenants. Failure to serve is not a criminal offence, but it affects the landlord’s ability to demonstrate good faith compliance with the Act and may be raised in future possession proceedings.
What LettingsLedger captures
Service date, document version, method of service, delivery confirmation. Cover letter generated by the platform. Deadline tracking with advance alerts. This task was auto-triggered for all existing enrolments by LettingsLedger’s legislative change alert on 1 May 2026.
✓
Pet request — response within statutory period ▼
Renters’ Rights Act 2025, s.15 · Request received 12 Mar 2026 · Approved with conditions 02 Apr 2026 (21 days)
Responded 02 Apr 2026
Within 28-day period
Within 28-day period
RRA 2025
Why this is required
From 1 May 2026, tenants have a statutory right to request a pet. Landlords must respond in writing within the statutory period — ordinarily 28 days (or 7 days after receiving any further information requested). Failure to respond within the applicable period is treated as consent. Landlords can only refuse on prescribed grounds (freeholder restriction, unsuitable property type) and must document their reasons.
RRA 2025 context
One of the most commercially significant new obligations. Silence equals consent — there is no cure once the deadline passes. Landlords who refuse must serve a written refusal with documented reasons. Tenants can challenge unreasonable refusals through the First-tier Tribunal.
What LettingsLedger captures
Request receipt date. 28-day countdown with alerts at 14 and 7 days. Approval or refusal letter generated (with conditions or documented reasons). Response date logged. Both letters timestamped in audit trail. This event was triggered by the tenant through the tenant portal.
Ongoing compliance & record-keeping
✓
Compliance calendar — version dated ▼
Platform-generated · All certificate expiry dates and renewal windows recorded
Last updated 14 Apr 2026
Evidenced
Why this is included
A compliance calendar is not legally mandated as a single document, but it is the most common document requested in council inspections and enforcement actions — because it demonstrates that the landlord is actively tracking their obligations, not just reacting when things expire. LettingsLedger generates a version-dated calendar that lists all obligations, their status, and upcoming renewal windows. Each update creates a new version in the audit trail, providing a longitudinal record of compliance management — not just compliance at a single point in time.
✓
Periodic tenancy inspection record ▼
General best practice · No category 1 hazards · Minor maintenance items noted and scheduled
Inspected 10 Jan 2026
Evidenced
Why this is included
While not mandated at a fixed interval by a single statute, landlords have ongoing duties under the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985 and the Fitness for Human Habitation requirements to maintain the property throughout the tenancy. A dated inspection record demonstrates active compliance management. In Awaab’s Law proceedings (when extended to the private sector) and in disrepair claims, a landlord with documented periodic inspections is significantly better placed than one without. LettingsLedger generates the inspection report and logs it with a timestamp.
✓
Certificate service bundle confirmation ▼
Multiple obligations · Gas, EICR, EPC copies served to tenant · Email delivery confirmed
Served 14 Jan 2024
Evidenced
Why this is included
Having a valid gas certificate, EICR, and EPC is only half of each obligation. The law also requires that copies are served on the tenant — not just obtained. Many landlords have valid certificates but cannot prove they served them. LettingsLedger captures service separately from the certificate itself: date served, method (email/hand/post), and where possible, delivery confirmation. This bundle task confirms that all three certificates have been served as a single documented event, with each service individually timestamped in the audit trail.
✓
Repair request acknowledgement record ▼
Platform-generated · 1 repair request logged · Acknowledged within 24h · Resolved within 7 days
Logged 22 Sep 2025
Resolved 28 Sep 2025
Resolved 28 Sep 2025
Evidenced
Why this is included
Landlords have a statutory obligation to repair and maintain the property under the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985. In disrepair claims and Awaab’s Law cases (anticipated PRS extension), the timeline from report to acknowledgement to resolution is the primary evidence. A dated record of every repair request received, acknowledged, and resolved is a landlord’s best protection.
Awaab’s Law context
Awaab’s Law (enacted for social housing in Oct 2025, PRS extension anticipated) will mandate strict response timeframes for hazards including damp and mould. LettingsLedger already tracks repair request timelines. When the PRS extension is confirmed, the repair log will auto-update to include the statutory deadline check.
What LettingsLedger captures
Repair submitted by tenant through tenant portal (timestamped). Landlord acknowledgement recorded. Resolution date and description logged. Full timeline preserved in audit trail. Each step creates a separate append-only entry.
N/A
HMO licence application record ▼
Housing Act 2004, Part 2 · Not applicable — property not an HMO (2 occupiers, single household)
Assessed 10 Jan 2024
Not applicable
Why this task exists
A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) — broadly, a property where 3 or more people from different households share facilities — requires a mandatory HMO licence from the local authority. Licences come with conditions covering room sizes, fire safety, management standards, and more. Some local authorities also operate additional or selective licensing schemes extending requirements to smaller properties.
Consequence if an HMO and unlicensed
Criminal offence. Unlimited fine. Rent Repayment Order — tenants can reclaim up to 12 months’ rent. Local authority can take over management. Director disqualification in some cases.
Why it shows as N/A here
Assessment confirmed: 2 adult occupiers from a single household. The property does not meet the HMO threshold. The assessment decision is recorded and dated so the N/A is evidenced. If the property situation changes (e.g. lodgers added), the assessment would require updating and LettingsLedger would trigger a re-assessment.

PRS Database registration preparation ▼
Renters’ Rights Act 2025, Phase 2 · Information gathered · Portal expected late 2026 — flagged for action
Prepared 14 Apr 2026
Mandatory: late 2026
Mandatory: late 2026
RRA 2025
Why this is required
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 creates a national Private Rented Sector Database, expected to be mandatory from late 2026, rolled out by local authority area. All landlords must register their properties and personal details. Failure to register will bar landlords from using certain Section 8 possession grounds including Ground 1 (moving in) and Ground 1A (selling).
RRA 2025 context
Not yet mandatory as of April 2026. LettingsLedger tracks this as a Phase 2 flag: the task records the information that will be required at registration (property address, landlord details, EPC rating, tenancy type) so registration is straightforward when the portal opens. LettingsLedger will trigger this task for action when the rollout is confirmed in the relevant local authority area.
What LettingsLedger captures
Registration preparation record dated. Information gathered and recorded. Legislative change alert active — LettingsLedger will automatically re-open this task when the PRS Database portal is confirmed. Landlord flagged to act immediately on confirmation, before possession ground access is affected.
