What is landlord compliance software?

Landlord compliance software is a place to keep the records a landlord holds for each let, such as certificates, agreements, notices and repair records, together with the dates when something next needs attention and the evidence of what was done. L&M Landlord Compliance is a planned tool of this kind for self-managing landlords with ordinary single-household lets in England.

The problems it is designed to help with

Each answer is a planned first-release feature.

  1. Documents spread across email, folders and paper.

    Documents and version history

    Each document is kept against its property. Earlier versions are kept, so you can see what was current on a given date.

  2. Dates held in your head or an old calendar entry.

    Upcoming actions and reminders

    Upcoming actions across all your lets in one list, with reminders before the dates arrive.

  3. Repairs with no clear record of how they ended.

    Remedial-work tracking

    The issue, the work arranged and the evidence that it was finished, kept together.

  4. No easy way to show when a tenant received something.

    Recorded tenant delivery evidence

    A note of when and how you gave each document to a tenant, with the supporting record attached.

  5. Gathering everything when someone asks what you hold.

    Dated evidence export

    A dated export of a property’s records.

Illustrative workflow · invented example

One let, from document to dated export.

How the planned features fit together for one invented property. Not a screenshot or a record of real use.

  1. Add a document

    The new gas safety record for Example Let A is uploaded. The earlier record stays in its version history.

    Recorded: Document, version, date added

  2. See the next action

    The date you note appears in one upcoming list across your lets, with a reminder before it arrives.

    Recorded: Date, property, reminder

  3. Record the follow-up

    A tenant reports a noisy bathroom extractor fan. You log the issue and the work arranged, then attach the invoice and a photo when it is done.

    Recorded: Issue, work arranged, completion evidence

  4. Record the delivery

    You email the tenant a copy of the new record, then note how and when you gave it, with the sent email attached.

    Recorded: Method, date, supporting record

  5. Export the record

    When you need to show what you hold, you produce a dated export of the property’s records.

    Recorded: Export date and contents

Behind every let, a set of records

A clearer picture of the property you manage.

A certificate in an inbox. A date in a calendar. A repair in a message thread. Bringing the records together makes it easier to see what you hold and what still needs attention.

Start with one property or organise up to ten. Both launch plans include the same core features.

Free practical guide

A record-organisation checklist for self-managing landlords.

An original L&M guide for arranging what you already hold. Use it with folders, a spreadsheet or any tool. It is not a complete list of legal requirements and it is not legal advice: what applies depends on your let.

For what the law requires, start here

For each property

  • One folder or record per property, named the same way every time.Example: “Example Let A · 2-bed flat”, not “flat docs (new)”.

  • The tenancy agreement and any renewals, with the start date noted on the record.Example: Agreement, renewal letter, the date each began.

  • The people and services connected to the let.Example: Insurer, contractors you use, utility and council tax accounts.

Certificates and reports you hold

  • Each certificate or report saved with its issue date and the date it next needs attention.Example: For example a gas safety record, an electrical installation condition report or an Energy Performance Certificate, where they apply.

  • Superseded versions kept, not overwritten.Example: Last year’s record moved to an “earlier versions” folder, not deleted.

  • Checks you carry out yourself, dated.Example: Alarm tests at the start of a tenancy, inspection notes.

When a tenancy starts

  • A list of what you gave the tenant, how and when.Example: “How to Rent guide, emailed 2 October, sent email saved.”

  • Deposit paperwork, if you took a deposit.Example: The protection confirmation and the information you gave the tenant.

  • Records of the checks you made before the tenancy.Example: For example right to rent check records, where they apply.

During the tenancy

  • Each repair request with the date reported, the work arranged and evidence it was finished.Example: Tenant’s message, contractor booking, invoice, dated photo.

  • Inspection notes and photographs, dated.Example: A short note per visit, saved against the property.

  • Correspondence that changes anything, saved against the property.Example: Agreed access dates, rent changes, notices.

Keeping it usable

  • One list of what next needs attention, across every let.Example: Sorted by date, reviewed on a set day each month.

  • A habit of filing on the day something arrives.Example: New certificate in, old one to earlier versions, date updated.

  • The ability to produce a dated summary of what you hold.Example: A list or export you can send to your own adviser.

Records, dates and evidence are different things.

Having a record is not the same as being able to show it reached the tenant. Keeping all three together makes the gaps easier to see.

What do I have?

Records

What you hold.

A certificate, an agreement, a report or a notice.

Example: The current gas safety record for Example Let A.

What is next?

Dates

When something next needs attention.

A renewal, a planned inspection or a follow-up you have promised.

Example: The inspection you have planned for early November.

Can I show it was done?

Evidence

Proof that something happened.

A sent email, a signed receipt, an invoice or a dated photo.

Example: The email showing the tenant was sent a copy, and the invoice for the finished repair.

Prices shown are total prices. Your free 14-day trial starts when you redeem your invitation. No card is needed during the trial; you choose a paid plan afterwards and will not be charged automatically. Joining the launch list creates no account and no billing.

For self-managing landlords with ordinary single-household lets in England. More than ten properties: no paid plan is offered at launch; we confirm scope and capacity before an invitation.

Who the first release is for

Designed for

  • Landlords who manage their own lets
  • Ordinary single-household lets, including lets covered by a council licensing scheme
  • Properties in England

Not in the first release

  • HMOs
  • Deciding whether a property needs a licence: your council can tell you
  • Commercial, mixed-use and supported or specialist housing
  • Properties in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
  • Agent-managed lets, and letting or managing agents

Initial focus

2 to 10 lets. The first release is built around portfolios of this size.

One let, or more than ten

You can still join. We will confirm the first release’s limits for your portfolio size before we send an invitation.

Outside the first release

The form tells you straight away. You will not be added to the trial list, but you can ask us to tell you if that changes.

A fair comparison

Spreadsheet, calendar or a dedicated tool?

Many landlords manage well with a spreadsheet and a calendar. This compares how each handles the same jobs. It describes the planned first release and does not claim that any option makes you compliant.

When a spreadsheet may be enough: one or two lets, few documents, and a routine you already keep up. The checklist above works with it.

Join the 14-day trial launch list.

Four short answers tell us whether the first release fits your lets. If it does not, the form says so before you send anything.

What happens next

  1. We record your answers and consent choices.
  2. When the first release opens, we email your invitation.
  3. Your 14 days start only when you redeem it.

We do not ask for

Property addresses, tenant details, documents or payment details.

We will email you about the launch invitation only. Other updates are a separate, optional choice, unticked by default.

Your role
Where the properties are
Type of letting

Some councils run licensing schemes that cover ordinary lets. Those lets still count as ordinary here. Your council can tell you whether a licence is needed: the tool does not decide that.

Joining the list creates no account and no billing. We do not need property addresses, tenant details or documents.

Before you decide

Launch, trial and fit questions.

Join the launch list
When does it open?

We plan to send launch invitations in October 2026. If that date moves, everyone on the launch list will hear from us first.

When does my 14-day trial start?

When you redeem your launch invitation, not when you join the list. Joining the list does not start a trial, create an account or set up billing.

What will it cost after the trial?

At launch: £9.99 a month for 1–3 properties, or £99 a year paid upfront; £14.99 a month for 4–10 properties, or £149 a year paid upfront. Both include the same core features. These are total prices, with no setup fee. No card is needed for the 14-day trial; you choose a paid plan afterwards and will not be charged automatically. Joining the list does not commit you to anything.

Will it make me compliant?

No tool can do that on its own. It keeps your records, dates and evidence together so you can see what needs doing. Decisions about your obligations remain yours, with professional advice where needed.

Does it tell me which rules apply to my property?

No. It organises the records and dates you hold. It does not decide which legal requirements apply to a let. GOV.UK sets out landlord responsibilities, and a solicitor or other qualified adviser can advise on your situation.

Is it a replacement for a letting agent?

No. It is a record-keeping tool for landlords who manage their own lets. It does not act on your behalf or give advice, and the first release is not designed for agent-managed lets.

My properties are in Wales or Scotland, or I let an HMO. Can I join?

Not for the first release. You can ask us to tell you if it later supports your situation; you will not be added to the trial launch list.

I have one let, or more than ten. Can I join?

Yes. The first release is built around portfolios of 2 to 10 lets, so we will confirm its limits for your portfolio size before we send an invitation.

My council runs a licensing scheme for ordinary lets. Is my let covered?

An ordinary single-household let in England is within the first release, whether or not a council licensing scheme applies to it. The tool does not decide whether a licence is needed or what a licence requires. Your council can tell you that.

Can I use the checklist on this page without the tool?

Yes. The record-organisation checklist is free to use with folders, a spreadsheet or anything else. It is a practical guide, not a complete list of legal requirements.

What do you need from me to join?

Your name, email address and four short answers about your lets. We do not ask for property addresses, tenant details or documents.
