Landlord Compliance Tracker England | Renters' Rights Act

Since 1 May 2026, being an England landlord runs on paperwork and dates — Section 21 is gone, every tenancy is periodic, rent rises only by Section 13, and the PRS database starts rolling out from late 2026. Let Sorted is the record-keeping tracker for the new regime.

Built for self-managing landlords with 1–10 properties in England (Wales, Scotland and NI have different rules and are out of scope).

You get:

– A 10-tab Excel/Google Sheets workbook (no macros) with a traffic-light Compliance Dashboard: one row per property, a light per duty — gas safety, EICR, EPC, alarms, deposit + prescribed information, written statement, Right to Rent, PRS database status, licensing — with days remaining on every dated duty and each property's most urgent duty named in words.

– A Certificate Log (500 rows) that always watches the latest gas/EICR/EPC record per property, using the certificate's own stated expiry when it has one and the sourced statutory interval when it doesn't.

– A Section 13 Rent Increase Log that flags any entry showing less than 2 months' notice or two increases within 12 months — recording, not advising — and a Document Log for what was served on which tenant, when, and how, because the Act makes exactly that paper trail decisive.

– A Duty Calendar of the phased rollout, every row honestly labelled IN FORCE / DATED / DATE TBC with its official source — including the passed 31 May 2026 Information Sheet deadline, the PRS database from late 2026, and EPC C from 1 October 2030.

– A Health Check tab: expired/missing/due-soon counters, late-deposit and unregistered flags, plus tripwires for blank dates and misspelled property names — a monthly two-minute audit of your own file.

– A 2,460-word plain-English guide (print-ready PDF): what changed on 1 May 2026, the new rent-increase rules, the written statement regime, the PRS database (who registers, when, what happens if you don't), every long-standing duty, and what's still to come — every fact cited to gov.uk or legislation.gov.uk, checked 24 August 2026, with the full claim-by-claim source table included. Plus Google Sheets import instructions.

The stakes are factual, not hype: the Act carries civil penalties of up to £7,000 for a first or less serious breach and up to £40,000 for serious or repeated ones (gov.uk Guide to the Renters' Rights Act), and an unregistered landlord will be blocked from most possession orders once the database reaches their area.

Straight answers on what it isn't: it's not legal advice — a record-keeping tool built on published rules; take professional advice (solicitor or landlord association) for your specific situation. It contains no notice templates and no tenancy drafting, doesn't register you on the PRS database, and can't check council-specific licensing — it gives you the columns to record all of it.
