31 May 2026 — Legal Deadline

Never get caught out by compliance again.

The Renters Rights Act requires every landlord in England to serve an official Information Sheet on all existing tenants by 31 May 2026. Miss it and councils could issue civil penalties of up to £30,000 per breach under the Housing Act 2004. On a multi-unit portfolio, that exposure could stack fast.

LandlordProof guides you through exactly what to serve, generates your compliant email, and logs timestamped proof of every step — so you can demonstrate compliance if a council ever investigates.

✓The official GOV.UK Information Sheet is included — the exact document the law requires you to serve, ready to download the moment you sign up.

✓ Accuracy commitment: Based on current UK housing legislation, official GOV.UK guidance, and local authority enforcement powers under the Housing Act 2004 and Renters Rights Act 2025. Updated March 2026. Always verify at GOV.UK for your specific circumstances.

How It Works — 3 Steps
1
Create your free account
Sign up free — no payment required. The compliance tool is free forever. Add Vault storage later if you want to keep your proof documents long-term.
2
Add your properties & tenants
Enter each property address and the name of every tenant named on the tenancy agreement. One row per tenant.
✓
Follow the steps & store your proof
Download the official GOV.UK document, email it as an attachment, post first class. Tick each step and upload screenshots as you go — everything is timestamped and saved to your account.
4
Add the Vault to store your documents (optional — monthly fee applies)
Without the Vault, uploaded documents are only retained for 30 days. Add the Vault to store everything permanently — screenshots, receipts, signed letters — and stay covered for future compliance deadlines as legislation evolves. Cancel anytime.
Non-compliance fines could reach £30,000 per breach.
On a portfolio, that exposure could stack across multiple units. The cost of compliance starts at £9.99/month.
Civil Penalty — Per Breach
Fail to serve Information Sheet
£30,000
Maximum civil penalty under the Housing Act 2004. Councils set amounts using their own matrix — typical real-world fines range from £5,000 to £30,000 per breach.
Portfolio Risk
Multiple properties, multiple breaches
£50k+
Separate breaches across multiple units could stack independently. For example, 6 separate breaches at £7,000 each could total £42,000. In the worst case, significantly more.
Additional Risk
Rent repayment orders
+ RRO
Non-compliant landlords also risk Rent Repayment Orders. Councils have enhanced enforcement powers from 27 December 2025.

The regulation doesn't stop in May
The next wave is already coming.

The Renters Rights Act is phase one. The government has already legislated — or consulted on — a series of further obligations hitting private landlords over the next two years. Ignore them and the fines stack. LandlordProof tracks all of it, so you don't have to.

Common Questions
Or ask anything below
Two tenants on one AST, one email address?▼
Both named tenants must receive their own copy. With one email, address it to both by name and attach the PDF. Also post first class to the property addressed to both.
⚖️ GOV.UK: "A copy must be given to every tenant named on the tenancy agreement." Not legal advice.
One tenant has left but is still on the agreement?▼
If formally surrendered — don't serve. If moved out but still named — serve to the property and last known address. If in doubt, serve. Use "Mark Vacated" in the tracker.
⚖️ Complex area — seek legal advice if status is unclear.
No written agreement — verbal only?▼
Do not serve the Information Sheet. Oral tenancies need a Written Statement of Terms instead. Simplest fix: formalise in writing before 1 May, then serve the Information Sheet.
⚖️ Oral tenancies are complex — seek legal advice.
I'm overseas — how do I post a letter?▼
Three options: (1) Royal Mail Click and Drop — buy UK postage online from anywhere. (2) UK contact posts it for you. (3) Your letting agent — legally required to serve anyway.
⚖️ Email with PDF attachment is GOV.UK's primary recommended method. Not legal advice.
Tenant hasn't signed or acknowledged receipt?▼
That's absolutely fine — tenant acknowledgement is not a legal requirement. Email plus first class post is all that's needed to comply. The law places the obligation on you to serve, not on the tenant to respond. Your sent email and proof of posting receipt are your evidence.
⚖️ Not legal advice. Service is complete regardless of whether the tenant responds.
My agent manages it — do I still need to serve?▼
Your agent is legally required to serve too. But don't assume they have — instruct them explicitly and request confirmation.
⚖️ You remain responsible as landlord. Not legal advice.
