Landlord Compliance: A Complex Challenge
Landlord compliance is complicated, with numerous regulations that come with hefty fines for breaches. This year alone, landlords have had to navigate MEES Regulations, changes to energy efficiency standards, and upcoming rules on electrical safety inspections from 1 July. Additionally, landlords must ensure compliance with right to rent, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas safety checks.
Keeping Track of Regulations with PlanetRent
Staying on top of compliance requirements can be overwhelming, but our cloud-based lettings platform, PlanetRent, makes it simple. Landlords can access all key documents and files virtually, ensuring nothing is overlooked. In just one click, new tenants receive all legally required documents, including:
- How to Rent checklist
- Deposit Protection Scheme details
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
- Gas safety certificate
Ensuring Landlords’ Peace of Mind
PlanetRent helps landlords tick every legal box and avoid compliance-related fines that could reach £20,000. Our real-time compliance dashboard tracks everything, including:
- Property compliance: EPCs, gas safety, HMO registrations, PAT testing
- Tenancy compliance: Right to rent checks, deposit certificates
- Equipment log: White goods asset register, meter details, and boiler maintenance contracts
Automated Compliance Reporting
With PlanetRent, compliance reports are generated weekly or monthly and can be sent directly to your compliance manager or accountant. Best of all, our system automatically updates when legal requirements change, ensuring landlords stay compliant with minimal effort.
Why PlanetRent Stands Out
Unlike other rental platforms, PlanetRent provides built-in compliance visibility and reporting—features that many competitors don’t offer. This means landlords always know where they stand without the need for manual tracking or additional software.

Let Agreed: This term indicates that a landlord has provisionally agreed to enter into a rental agreement with a prospective tenant, pending additional checks and referencing. It doesn't require the prospective tenant to have paid a holding deposit.
Let: This term signifies an established binding rental agreement between the landlord and tenant.
For both lettings and sales, the guidance addresses additional terms:
New On The Market: This term is used for a property not advertised since its last sale or rental. It should only be used for a brief period.
New Instruction: It applies to a property assigned to an agent for marketing recently, even if it was previously listed with another agent without being sold or rented.
New and Exclusive: This term refers to a property that is either new on the market or a new instruction, exclusively available through a specific agent or portal.
New Method of Sale/Let: This term is used when a property is being marketed for sale or rent using an alternative approach to the original advertisement, such as transitioning to an auction or sealed bid.
Reduced: This term indicates that a property's price has recently been reduced. The reduction should be genuine and comply with the Chartered Trading Standards Institute's guidelines on pricing practices.
