Understanding the Complexity of Landlord Compliance

Landlord compliance is a complex and ever-evolving process. With numerous regulations surrounding rental properties, landlords face hefty fines for non-compliance. Anyone renting out a home must navigate:

  • MEES Regulations and energy efficiency standards.
  • New rules on electrical safety inspections.
  • Ongoing property maintenance and legal documentation requirements.

Keeping up with these regulations can be challenging, but technology can help simplify the process

Key Regulations Landlords Must Follow

Landlords must enforce several key legal requirements, including:

  • Right to Rent checks
  • Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors
  • Gas safety checks

Failing to meet these obligations can lead to significant penalties, which is why a structured compliance approach is essential.

Automating Compliance with PlanetRent

PlanetRent simplifies compliance by allowing landlords to access all essential documents and files virtually. When new tenants sign up through the app, they automatically receive all legally required documents, including:

  • The Government’s How to Rent checklist
  • Deposit Protection Scheme details
  • Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
  • Gas safety certificates

This automation eliminates errors and ensures tenants always receive the correct documentation.

Giving Landlords Peace of Mind

With PlanetRent, landlords no longer need to worry about compliance. The real-time compliance dashboard keeps track of essential tasks, such as:

  • Property Compliance – EPCs, gas safety checks, HMO registrations, PAT testing, passport expiry dates, deposit certificates, and inventories.
  • Tenancy Compliance – Right to Rent checks, deposit certificates.
  • Equipment Log – White goods asset register, meter MPAN/MRPN/SPID numbers, meter locations & serial numbers, and boiler maintenance contracts.

By automating these processes, landlords can avoid fines of up to £20,000 for non-compliance.

Automated Reports for Hassle-Free Compliance

PlanetRent automates compliance reports, ensuring they are delivered weekly or monthly to landlords, compliance managers, or accountants as needed.

The best part? When regulations change, PlanetRent updates your compliance processes automatically—eliminating any risk of oversight.

A Simple, Pay-As-You-Go Solution

Unlike other rental platforms, PlanetRent offers compliance visibility and reporting at no extra cost. The flexible pricing model includes:

  • Pay-as-you-go
  • No sign-up fees or subscriptions

Why not check out PlanetRent today? It will save you time, money, and hassle—while keeping your properties fully compliant with all legal requirements.

Eviction ban is extended - again
The Government has announced a further delay to the end of the eviction ban, which will now run until 31 May. The latest extension has met with a mixed response. The industry is not impressed. Landlords’ ability to start court proceedings has been kicked even further down the road and tenants’ campaign groups are calling for pandemic debt to be written off altogether.This is clearly unrealistic - but how big a problem are we really talking abo...
