UK landlord tools & calculators
Tenancy agreement and guarantor templates, deadline calculators and checkers for the decisions a let turns on. Where a rule is involved, it comes from GOV.UK guidance or the legislation itself.
How we build and check themMost used
Tenancy agreement template
ASTs ended on 1 May 2026. Get the assured periodic tenancy agreement England now requires: no fixed term, two months’ notice from the tenant, rent rises only by Section 13. In LetCompliance it is filled in from your records.
Open
Guarantor agreement template
Fill the form and get a sample PDF rent guarantee in under a minute. A Guarantee Agreement before the tenancy starts, a Deed of Guarantee after. Liability cap and the s.16N rule on the tenant’s death written in. An account sends it to the guarantor and keeps the signed copy.
Open
Landlord checklist PDF
Tell us whether it is a single let or an HMO and we build the checklist round it. Four sections in the order the work happens, each item with the law it comes from. Free PDF, emailed instantly.
Open
Tenancy and documents
3 toolsPet request refusal
Since 1 May 2026 you cannot refuse a pet without a specific reasonable reason. Check whether your grounds hold up, and the 28-day clock you must answer within.
Open
Tenant fees checker
Charge one banned fee and you risk a £5,000 penalty and a repayment obligation. Check any charge against the Tenant Fees Act 2019 permitted-payments list in seconds.
Open
Referencing pre-check
Most failed references come down to two things: income under about 30x the monthly rent, and address history that does not match the credit file. Check both in seconds.
Open
Compliance and licensing
10 toolsLandlord type check
Most people letting a property in the UK have never described themselves as a landlord, and the label decides which rules apply to them. Answer four questions and get a straight answer, plus anything else that is true at the same time.
Open
Postcode Licensing Checker
Postcode in, licensing answer out: selective, additional and HMO schemes for the council, with the official checks alongside.
Open
Section 8 readiness
Section 21 was abolished by the Renters' Rights Act 2025. On most Section 8 grounds an unprotected deposit or missing prescribed information stops the order until it is put right. Check before you serve.
Open
Certificate renewals
Three certificates, three different cycles, one missed date is non-compliance. Get the next-due date for Gas Safety, EICR and EPC in one screen, then never track them by hand again.
Open
HMO licence checker
Operating an unlicensed HMO is a criminal offence with a Rent Repayment Order risk of up to two years' rent. Check in seconds whether mandatory, additional or selective licensing applies.
Open
EPC C grant finder
Most landlords know the planned 2030 EPC C standard; few know which grants actually pay for it. Match the live schemes, heat pump, council and insulation funding, to your property.
Open
Right to Rent check
Get the Right to Rent check method and the follow-up date right for every adult occupier. A missed follow-up loses your statutory excuse, this wizard pins the date.
Open
MEES 2030 checker
Band E lets you let today; band C is coming by 2030. Check where your EPC sits against both the current minimum and the proposed target in one screen.
Open
Landlord registration
Each UK nation registers landlords differently, and England's new PRS Database is coming under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Check what applies to your property in seconds.
Open
PRS Database readiness
Registration opens on 15 December 2026, with a deadline for each region in 2027. Check now whether your certificates, tenancy details and licensing are ready, while there is still time to fix them.
Open
Deposits
5 toolsDeposit deadline
30 days beginning with the day it is received, not the tenancy start. Miss it and the court must award the tenant 1–3× the deposit, and most possession orders wait until it is put right.
Open
Deposit penalty
A late deposit protection isn’t a slap on the wrist: the court must award the tenant between one and three times the deposit. See the range before they file.
Open
Deposit cap
5 weeks’ rent under £50k annual, 6 weeks’ rent at or above £50k. Over the cap is a banned fee the tenant can recover through the tribunal, with a penalty of up to £5,000. Get the exact lawful figure.
Open
Deposit scheme quiz
Three government-authorised schemes, six product variants, free custodial vs paid insured. 5 questions, one ranked recommendation. No email needed.
Open
Deposit deduction
Landlords lose deposit disputes by claiming the full replacement cost of a part-worn item. This applies the apportionment adjudicators actually use.
Open
Possession and notices
6 toolsSection 8 notice period
Ground 8 needs 4 weeks’ notice. Ground 1A needs 4 months and a 12-month tenancy. Ground 14 needs none. The Renters’ Rights Act made the rules longer, this tool keeps you valid.
Open
Section 13 rent increase
Since 1 May 2026 Section 13 is the only way to raise the rent on an assured tenancy. Get the earliest valid date, the tenant’s tribunal deadline and the Form 4A rules in one screen.
Open
Break clause date
A break clause is only as good as the dates inside it. Get the earliest activation date, the notice service deadline and the move-out date in one screen, in seconds.
Open
Ground 8 arrears
The mandatory rent arrears ground only works above a precise threshold, and the Renters' Rights Act 2025 raised it to 3 months. Check whether Ground 8 is met before you serve.
Open
Possession timeline
Section 21 is gone, so every eviction is a Section 8 ground with a court hearing. Estimate the realistic months from notice to vacant possession before you start.
Open
Eviction cost
The court fee is never the expensive part. Add the arrears already owed and every month until you get the property back, and the real number appears.
Open
Finance and yield
13 toolsRent calculator
Before you advertise, see what homes of the same size rent for in the same council, on the Office for National Statistics' own figures, and turn a weekly rent into the calendar-month figure tenancy agreements use.
Open
Pro rata rent
A tenancy almost never starts on the rent day, so the first payment is a part month. There is no legal formula and agreements use two different ones, which is why the same tenancy can produce two different first invoices. See both, and put the working on the demand.
Open
Mileage claim
Driving to a viewing, an inspection or to meet a contractor is an allowable expense, and most landlords either forget it or use last year's rate. The first-band rate rose from 45p to 55p on 6 April 2026, so pick the year you are filing for.
Open
Rental yield
Gross yield is a vanity metric. See your real net return after mortgage, running costs and tax, the same numbers your portfolio dashboard runs on every property in LetCompliance.
Open
Stamp Duty BTL
SDLT on buy-to-let is complex. Residential rates + 5% additional-property surcharge + 2% non-resident surcharge. Get the exact bill before you offer.
Open
BTL stress test
Every UK BTL lender stress-tests your rent at 5.5%–7% with ICR of 125% (basic-rate) or 145% (higher-rate). See the maximum loan your rent supports.
Open
CGT on BTL
Selling a BTL? CGT rates changed in April 2024 and the allowance is now just £3,000. Plus you have 60 days from completion to report and pay. Run the numbers before you accept an offer.
Open
HMO all-in yield
Gross yield on purchase price flatters bad projects. See true all-in yield on total project cost and cash-on-cash after interest-only mortgage, management and bills.
Open
HMO mortgage
HMO lenders stress per-room rent at 5.5%–8% with ICR up to 170% for higher-rate landlords. See the maximum loan your room income actually supports, before you offer.
Open
Letting agent fees
The headline percentage is never the whole bill. Add VAT, set-up, inventory and renewal fees for the real first-year cost, then compare it with managing the let yourself.
Open
Rent affordability
Most UK referencing fails on one rule: gross income of 30× the monthly rent. Check any applicant in seconds, and see the guarantor income needed when they fall short.
Open
Void cost
A 6-week void on a £1,500 BTL costs roughly £2,800 once council tax, bills and re-let fees are added. See the real number before you set the next asking rent.
Open
Keep or sell BTL
Refinance shock, the EPC C bill and the Renters' Rights Act have landlords asking: keep or sell? Put the cash-flow side on one screen and get a clear lean.
Open
Tax
3 toolsSection 24 tax
Section 24 doesn’t just take away your deduction, it can shove your rental profit into the higher-rate band even when your cash position is basic-rate. See the real number for your portfolio.
Open
Rental income tax
Rental profit is taxed on top of your salary, so the marginal rate is what bites. Enter your numbers to see the real tax bill, the 20% mortgage-interest credit and what you actually keep.
Open
Making Tax Digital checker
Enter your rental and self-employment turnover and see the April it starts for you, then every quarterly update deadline and the Final Declaration date.
Open
Property safety
2 toolsAwaab’s Law timer
Awaab’s Law sets strict repair deadlines for social landlords now, and private landlords are expected to follow once it is extended. This timer keeps each milestone in one place.
Open
EPC retrofit cost
The government plans EPC C for all privately rented homes by 1 October 2030, with a £10,000 cost cap. See your retrofit bill before then.

Questions about the tools
How they work, where the rules come from, and how they differ from the account.
Are these landlord calculators really free?
Yes. The calculators and checkers are free with no account and no card. The tenancy agreement and guarantor templates are free too: your first one is emailed to you, and a second on the same email address needs an account. The full account runs the whole let from £7.99 a month.
Where do the figures and rules come from?
Each tool is built from the underlying GOV.UK guidance or legislation and re-checked each quarter. They are guides to help you make a decision quickly, not legal or tax advice. Always confirm anything material against the official source or a professional.
Do the tools cover the Renters’ Rights Act 2025?
Yes. The notice-period, possession-timeline and rent-increase tools follow the post-Section 21 regime under the RRA 2025, and are updated as each phase of the reform commences.
Do you store what I enter?
The calculators work in your browser and nothing you type into them is saved to an account, which is why there is no login.
How are these different from the tools inside LetCompliance?
These answer a one-off question. LetCompliance is landlord software that runs the let itself for each property: the advert and applications, the signed tenancy, rent by Direct Debit with no commission, repairs, notices and the tax figures, with the same rules applied to your real dates. Plans from £7.99 a month.
