UK Landlord Compliance Tracker

The problem

An expired gas certificate is a criminal offence, and missing a deposit protection deadline can trigger a 3x penalty or block your right to regain possession. Most landlords rely on memory or scattered emails, leaving them vulnerable to legal breaches they don't see coming.

What it does

• Builds a structured compliance register for UK rental properties with verified evidence tracking.
• Monitors mandatory deadlines for CP12 gas safety, EICR, EPC, and deposit protection schemes.
• Generates a "nag list" of expired duties, upcoming renewals, and unproven claims lacking documentation.
• Enforces strict evidence discipline by requiring physical files before marking a duty as complete.
• Tracks local council licensing requirements and updates for the Renters' Rights Act.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Standard LLMs will often mark a task as "done" just because you said you booked an engineer. This skill enforces a hard rule: compliance is only achieved when the PDF is in the evidence folder. It prevents the "hallucination of safety" by treating unverified claims as active risks.

Use cases

• Set up a new compliance audit for a property recently added to a portfolio.
• Perform an annual review of existing certificates against current gov.uk requirements.
• Onboard a new tenancy by verifying deposit protection, How to Rent guides, and alarm checks.
• Audit a folder of random PDF certificates to generate a clean, dated renewal schedule.

Known limitations

Default duties are based on English law; manual adjustment is required for properties in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Does not draft legal notices or provide possession strategy advice.
