What does a landlord have to do?
The main recurring duties for a let home in England, with the law behind each one:
| Duty | What the law asks | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Gas safety check | Each gas appliance and flue checked at least every 12 months | Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, reg. 36 |
| Electrical inspection (EICR) | Inspected and tested before the tenancy starts, then at least every 5 years | Electrical Safety Standards Regulations 2020, reg. 3 |
| Tenancy deposit | Protected, and the prescribed information given, within 30 days of receiving it | Housing Act 2004, s.213 |
| PRS Database | An active entry for you and for the property, in your region’s window | Renters’ Rights Act 2025, s.82 |
| Rent increases | Only through a Section 13 notice; a rent review clause has no effect | Housing Act 1988, s.13(4A) |
This is not the whole list. Run the landlord compliance checker for one property, and read gas safety, EICR and EPC dates.
Accidental landlord? Where do you start?
- Add the property and the tenancy. Read getting started as a landlord.
- Upload the gas safety record, EICR and EPC. Abide.Rent records the expiry dates and reminds you. Read upload a certificate and record its expiry date.
- Record the deposit, where it is protected and when the prescribed information was given.
- Check the property’s PRS Database window, so registration is ready before your region opens.
What if a letting agent manages the home?
If your agent uses Abide.Rent, you see what they did on your properties, without asking, and which duties are still yours. See what your agent did and who is responsible, or check one duty with the responsibility checker.
