Free landlord compliance checklist 2026
Every certificate, check and deadline a landlord in England needs, on one printable list.
Letting a home comes with a long list of legal duties, and the Renters' Rights Act has changed several of them. This checklist puts them in order, from the day you decide to let to the day a tenancy ends, so you can tick them off and see what's missing.

Who it's for
Landlords letting homes in England, whether you have one flat or a portfolio, and whether you manage it yourself or use an agent. Rules in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are different.
Would you rather not deal with any of this? Full management and guaranteed rent cover every item on the list.
The checklist is general information, not legal advice. It was last checked on 12 October 2026.
