Instant PDF, no card. Four sections in the order the work happens, from what to settle before you advertise to the dates that quietly expire every year. Every item names the statute it comes from, so you can check any line against GOV.UK yourself.

Before they move in
Once they are in
A checklist is one page of a job that runs for years. Every step above happens in the account instead: the advert, the applications and viewings, referencing, the signed tenancy, the deposit, the rent and the arrears, the inspections, and your tax figures at the end of it. The certificates ride along rather than being the point.

All 44 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.
Postcode Licensing Checker
Postcode in, licensing answer out: selective, additional and HMO schemes for the council, with the official checks alongside.
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.
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.
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.
EPC C grant finder
Everyone knows the 2030 EPC C deadline; few know which grants actually pay for it. Match the live schemes, heat pump, council and insulation funding, to your property.
