Landlord is responsible for all ongoing compliance, repairs, inspection, rent collection, deposit disputes and portal updates

    We handle all registration, legal documents, observance of the new Act and portal uploads.

  3. 3

    Let & Manage

Compliance & legal assurance

In the new post-May 2026 environment you’ll need more than just a letting agent — you’ll need a legal partner.

  • We ensure your tenancy structure is fully compliant with the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 (periodic tenancies, rent increase rules, pet rights, new possession grounds)
  • All requisite registrations (landlord portal, ombudsman) done for you
  • Documentation, record-keeping, inspection logs and notices all handled
  • We help to reduce regulatory risk and the likelihood of disputes or enforcement action

Check the deposit limits for a rent

Example: £2,000 a month — enter your own rent.

Weekly rent: £461.54

Maximum holding deposit (1 week’s rent): £461.54

Maximum tenancy deposit (5 weeks’ rent): £2,307.69

Working: £2,000.00 × 12 = £24,000.00 a year; ÷ 52 = £461.54 a week; × 5 = £2,307.69. Annual rent is under £50,000, so the 5-week cap applies.
