📋

Track every certificate AND tenancy obligation

Gas safety, EICR, EPC, deposit protection, Right to Rent, How to Rent, licensing, the RRA Information Sheet — one dashboard, one traffic-light view.

📜

Law-change alerts — we tell you when the rules change

Renters' Rights Act, EPC minimums, licensing changes. Plain-English updates from official UK sources so you never find out too late.

📄

Professional PDF compliance packs

One click generates a branded PDF pack — cover page, RAG summary and merged certificate documents — ready to send to agents, lenders or councils.

Plus multi-channel reminders — email, phone push notification and SMS — before every deadline.

Property Care

Go beyond compliance — look after your property and your tenants.

Optional Property Care checks help you stay on top of the things that protect your investment and keep tenants happy: annual boiler service, periodic property inspections, gutter clearance, damp & mould checks, leak checks, smoke & CO alarm tests, and anything else you want to schedule. Kept separate from your legal compliance so the traffic-light picture stays clean.

CertMinder doesn't just keep you legal — it helps you be the landlord tenants want to stay with.

  • Annual boiler service

    Reminded every 12 months.

  • Property inspection

    Every 6 months by default — adjust to suit.

  • Damp & mould check

    Awaab's Law is coming — get ahead of it.

  • Leak & plumbing check

    Spot small issues before they become claims.

  • Smoke & CO alarm test

    Quick tenant-facing check between certificates.

  • Your own custom checks

    Anything you want to remember — you set the cadence.

Landlord compliance — common questions

Quick answers to what UK landlords ask most. For the full picture, read the UK Landlord Compliance Guide 2026.

When does my gas safety certificate expire?+

A landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) is valid for 12 months. You must have every gas appliance, flue and pipework checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and give tenants a copy of the record within 28 days of the check (or before a new tenant moves in).

What is the Renters' Rights Act?+

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 abolishes Section 21 no-fault evictions, converts assured shorthold tenancies to periodic tenancies, and requires landlords to serve a prescribed Information Sheet on existing tenants. The deadline to serve the Information Sheet on existing tenants was 31 May 2026, with a penalty of up to £7,000 for non-compliance.

How often do I need an EICR?+

In England, the fixed electrical installation in a rented property must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified person. A copy of the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) must be given to the tenant within 28 days, and any C1, C2 or FI code remedied within 28 days.

How long is an EPC valid?+

An Energy Performance Certificate is valid for 10 years. To let a property in the private rented sector it must currently be band E or above. The government has consulted on raising the minimum required rating to band C — check GOV.UK for the current position.

Do I have to protect the tenant's deposit?+

Yes. Any deposit taken for an assured shorthold tenancy must be protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of receipt, and the prescribed information given to the tenant within the same 30 days.
