Compliance
Compliance that chases itself
UK lettings compliance is a moving list of certificates, deadlines and duties, and it is not one list, because the rules are devolved to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. LeaseUp tracks every requirement per property, under the regime that property actually sits in, and starts the renewal process before a deadline becomes a problem.
LeaseUp compliance tracking monitors the certificates and legal duties attached to each UK rental property, including gas safety, electrical safety (EICR), EPC, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and deposit protection, and automatically schedules renewals before they expire.
Every property, every certificate, one view
Each property carries its own compliance record. A portfolio-wide dashboard shows what is valid, what is due and what is overdue. That is the difference between assuming you are compliant and knowing it.
- Gas safety certificates (annual)
- Electrical safety reports (EICR), five-yearly
- Energy performance certificates (EPC)
- Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm requirements
- Deposit protection deadlines
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
Lettings law is devolved, so a portfolio spread across the UK is really four regimes rather than one. LeaseUp applies the checklist for each property’s jurisdiction instead of assuming an English tenancy, and flags the duties that exist in one nation and not the others.
- England: assured shorthold tenancies, Right to Rent checks and the How to Rent guide
- Wales: occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, plus Rent Smart Wales registration and licensing
- Scotland: open-ended private residential tenancies, mandatory landlord registration and the Repairing Standard
- Northern Ireland: the Private Tenancies Act regime, with landlord registration and its own deposit rules
Renewals that start themselves
When a certificate approaches expiry, LeaseUp raises the renewal, drafts the contractor instruction and chases until the new document is uploaded. The 24/7 maintenance triage handles urgent safety issues the same way.
An audit trail when it matters
Every certificate, reminder and action is stored with its dates against the property. If a dispute or an enforcement question ever arises, the evidence of what was done and when is one search away.
Common questions
Which compliance requirements does LeaseUp track?
LeaseUp tracks the recurring certificates and duties for private rented property across all four UK nations. The core certificates of gas safety, electrical safety (EICR), EPC, alarm requirements and deposit protection apply throughout, and the surrounding duties follow the property’s jurisdiction: Right to Rent in England, Rent Smart Wales registration in Wales, landlord registration and the Repairing Standard in Scotland, and the Private Tenancies Act regime in Northern Ireland. Requirements are tracked per property, so an HMO in Manchester and a private residential tenancy in Glasgow carry different checklists.
What happens when a certificate is about to expire?
LeaseUp flags the expiry in advance, drafts the renewal instruction and chases the booking until the replacement certificate is uploaded. You approve each step, and the full history is stored against the property.
Does compliance tracking keep up with changing regulation?
The compliance engine is maintained against current UK lettings regulation, and checklist changes roll out to affected properties automatically, so when requirements change your portfolio view reflects it without you rebuilding spreadsheets.
