Key landlord duties during a tenancy include:
- ensuring property habitability/safety (Gas – annually, Electrical Certs – 5-yearly),
- managing deposits (protect within 30 days),
- Right to Rent/EPC checks (start/new tenants),
- rent collection, maintenance, and providing correct documentation/agreements
Compliance requires consistent adherence to legal obligations and regular updates/inspections. This is particularly important for HMOs and properties which are subject to licensing.
