The basics to organise early

Landlords should keep a clear record of tenancy documents, deposit protection details, inspection notes, repair communication and safety certificates.

Make compliance calendar based

Recurring tasks are easier to manage when they are held in a calendar or property management workspace. Include certificate renewal dates, inspection windows and review dates.

Keep evidence

Good records reduce confusion if a tenant raises a repair, deposit or rent issue later.
