Renters’ Rights Act: is your property ready?

The Renters’ Rights Act is changing the way landlords manage property, but staying compliant does not have to be complicated. If you currently self-manage, Parkers can help take the pressure off by handling the day to day management, paperwork and legal responsibilities, so you can protect your investment with confidence.

Could you prove your property is compliant?

Under the new rules, landlords will need to show that key steps have been completed and evidence is on file, including:

Correct tenancy documents served on time

Gas Safety, EICR and EPC records kept up to date

Deposits protected and Prescribed Information served correctly

Right to Rent checks completed

Repairs, damp and mould issues responded to within required timeframes

PRS Portal and Ombudsman registration completed when required

Missing important steps could lead to civil penalties for serious breaches and may affect your ability to regain possession through the courts.

Parkers can help you stay organised, compliant and confident without managing it all yourself.

Why switch to fully managed with Parkers?

If you are currently self managing, switching to fully managed can help reduce the time, admin and uncertainty that comes with letting a property.

With Parkers, you stay in control of your investment while we help manage the day-to-day responsibilities, including:
