Our researchin the press

Most landlords do not miss a gas safety check because they do not care. They miss it because the date lives in a drawer, an inbox and their memory at once. The compliance tracker gives every property a score out of 100 built from its certificates, deposit and licence, and reminds you before each one falls due, so the date is never the thing you have to remember.

01

A score for each property

Each property gets a live score from 0 to 100, recalculated as dates change. An expired certificate scores zero for its share and shows a red marker on the property, with a quick way to fix it.

02

Reminders that do not rely on you

Email reminders at 90, 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before a certificate expires, and by SMS as well on paid plans. You can switch any step off in Settings.

03

Reports you can hand over

A certificate expiry report as PDF or CSV, a compliance pack PDF, and an audit trail export, for an agent, an insurer or your own records.

The dates that matter

What a landlord in England has to keep in date

A gas safety check is needed every 12 months on each gas appliance and flue, and the tenant gets a copy of the record within 28 days of the check, or before moving in. The electrical installation needs an inspection at least every 5 years, with the report given to the tenant within 28 days and any remedial work done within 28 days or a shorter period the report sets. An EPC lasts 10 years, and a property needs band E or above to be let.

Failing the electrical safety duties can bring a penalty of up to £40,000. A gas safety failure is a criminal offence. Letting below band E without a registered exemption can bring a penalty of up to £5,000. The government plans for every privately rented home to meet a new band C standard by 1 October 2030; the regulations are not made yet.

Deposits and licences

The two deadlines with the biggest consequences

A deposit has to be protected in DPS, mydeposits or TDS, and the prescribed information given, within 30 days beginning with the day you receive it. Miss it and the court must order you to pay the tenant between one and three times the deposit, and it cannot make a possession order on most grounds until the problem is put right. The tracker counts the day of receipt as day one, which is how the deadline is calculated.

Letting a property that needs a licence without one is a criminal offence. For offences from 1 May 2026 the council can impose a civil penalty of up to £40,000, and a Rent Repayment Order can reach two years’ rent. Licensing depends on the council and sometimes the street, so record the licence against the property and let the reminders handle the renewal.

Who it is for

Landlords with one property who want the dates handled, and portfolio landlords who have outgrown a spreadsheet. The score and reminders work the same on the free plan for one property; paid plans add more properties and SMS reminders.

The law behind it

Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, regulation 36. Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015. Housing Act 2004, sections 213 to 215 (tenancy deposits), and Parts 2 and 3 (HMO and selective licensing). Housing and Planning Act 2016, section 44 (Rent Repayment Orders).

Written for private lets in England. Guidance, not legal advice: for a defended claim or an unusual let, take advice from a housing solicitor.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is the compliance score worked out?

Each property is scored out of 100 from its compliance items, such as gas safety, the EICR, the EPC and the deposit. An item that has expired scores zero for its share, and the score updates automatically as dates pass or you upload a new certificate. A property below 70 shows red.

When do the reminders go out?

At 90, 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before a certificate expires. Email reminders are on every plan; SMS reminders are added on paid personal plans. You can turn individual reminders off in Settings. Licence reminders go out at 90, 30 and 7 days, and once after expiry.

Can I upload certificates I already have?

Yes. When you upload a certificate against a compliance item, it is read automatically for the expiry date, the issue date and, where it applies, the EPC rating or the gas or EICR outcome. You check the dates and confirm them.

Does it track EICR remedial work?

It flags an EICR whose overall result is unsatisfactory and notes the 28-day deadline for remedial work. It does not track individual C1, C2 or FI codes line by line, so keep the electrician’s confirmation of the work with the report.

Does a missing certificate stop me getting possession?

Not on its own. A missing gas safety record, EICR or EPC was a condition for Section 21, which was abolished on 1 May 2026. For Section 8 the compliance failure that bars a possession order is the deposit: not protected, or prescribed information not given. The certificate duties still carry their own penalties.

Does it work for HMOs?

Yes. Record the licence type, council, reference and dates against the property, and the licence gets its own reminders. Each room let can be tracked as its own tenancy.

Does this replace my letting agent?

It replaces the admin of keeping dates and documents. Many landlords manage their own lets with LetCompliance and use an agent only to find tenants. If your agent collects rent and handles repairs, those are separate parts of LetCompliance too.
