Why landlord compliance in London is a moving target

Keeping on top of landlord property compliance means managing several duties, each with its own renewal date. Across several properties and 33 London boroughs, each landlord compliance certificate adds another date to track. In 2026, landlords also face changes linked to the Rental Rights Act, EPC C 2030, the PRS database, decent homes, and Awaab’s Law.

SR manages the safety and certificate services listed above. This includes inspections, managing assessors, tracking renewal dates and keeping evidence organised.

What we manage and what stays with you

Compliance for landlords covers two separate areas. SR Maintenance manages property safety and statutory certificates. Tenancy administration stays with the landlord or appointed agent.

SR manages
Gas safety: SR performs checks, tracks renewal dates, and keeps certificates.
EICR: SR manages electrical inspections and tracks certificates.
EPC and MEES: SR manages a domestic energy assessor, tracks the EPC rating, and monitors the 2030 EPC C deadline.
Fire alarms: SR manages the required checks and tracks records.
Fire risk assessment: SR manages relevant requirements for communal areas and HMO properties.
EPC upgrades: Our in-house assessor or contractor handles assessment and upgrade works under the agreed scope.
Stays with you

Tenancy duties stay with the landlord or agent:

Renters' Rights Act 2025

Penalties stack: per breach, per property

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 applies penalties per breach and property. For multi-property landlord compliance, one repeated failure creates multiple exposure points. Gas safety has separate HSE enforcement, and EPC and MEES have a separate £30,000 framework, with 2030 EPC C as the PRS target.

£7,000
Civil penalty for a breach.
£40,000
Civil penalty for serious or repeat breaches.
24 months
Rent Repayment Orders reach 24 months’ rent.
£30,000
Separate EPC and MEES penalty framework.

What the Renters' Rights Act 2025 changed for landlord compliance

From 1 May 2026, Section 21 ends and assured periodic tenancies apply. Possession uses Section 8 grounds. Gas safety and EICR failures no longer block Section 21, but compliance matters more.

EPC C
1 Oct 2030, one deadline, £10,000 cap, EPC E until then.
PRS Database
Landlord + each dwelling, rollout late 2026.
Unregistered letting / marketing
Unlawful.
Decent Homes Standard
PRS from 2035.
Awaab’s Law
Staged damp, mould, and serious-hazard rules.
Rent Repayment Orders
24 months; higher civil penalties.

If you let HMOs or in a licensing area, the rules go further

If you let an HMO, your duties extend beyond standard landlord compliance to HMO compliance. 5+ occupants from 2+ households sharing amenities need mandatory HMO licensing, with added fire safety and amenity standards. Selective licensing varies by borough, and smaller 3 to 4-person HMOs can require licensing. For landlords managing several properties, portfolio landlord compliance London also needs attention to local licensing rules.

Landlord compliance FAQs

Gas safety requires an annual check and EICR every 5 years. EPC requires a minimum E rating until the 2030 C standard. Landlords also need smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a legionella assessment, plus licensing and fire safety checks where applicable.
Each duty has its own renewal period. Gas safety is annual, EICR is every 5 years and EPC follows its validity period. The compliance basket table shows each certificate, inspection and assessment against its required renewal date.
Yes. The gas safety duty remains in force and carries criminal penalties. Gas safety records also form part of the wider compliance record, including PRS Database requirements and evidence relevant to Section 8 possession.
The deadline is 1 October 2030. One deadline applies to new and existing tenancies, with a £10,000 cost cap per property. EPC E remains the minimum requirement until the EPC C standard takes effect.
Penalties apply per breach and per property, reaching £7,000 or £40,000, based on the breach. Multiple properties can create stacked financial exposure, making accurate renewal tracking essential across the portfolio.
SR works with both single-property and multi-property landlords. The same core duties apply to each property, with the process covering inspections, certificates, records and renewal dates.
No. SR provides independent compliance management for landlords. The service remains separate from letting and property management, giving landlords an independent view of duties, records, deadlines and gaps.
