Landlord Compliance Deadline Checker
Check every statutory deadline on a rental in one place. Enter when the gas safety check, EICR and EPC were last done, answer two questions about the deposit and licence, and see what is in date, what is due soon and what is overdue, with the exact next-due dates.
Renewed every 12 months. Leave blank if the property has no gas.
Electrical safety report, renewed every 5 years.
The certificate lasts 10 years from this date.
Deposits must go into a government-approved scheme within 30 days of receipt.
HMO, additional or selective licensing, depending on the council.
Deadlines follow the standard England rules: gas safety every 12 months, EICR every 5 years, EPCs valid for 10 years, deposits protected within 30 days. Due-soon flags appear 60 days ahead (90 for licences). This is a guide, not legal advice; requirements can differ by council and tenancy, so verify anything marginal on gov.uk.
Questions landlords ask
How often does a gas safety certificate need renewing?+
Every 12 months. A Gas Safe registered engineer must check every gas appliance and flue, and you must give tenants a copy of the CP12 record within 28 days of the check (or before they move in). You can renew up to 2 months early and keep the same expiry date. No gas in the property means no CP12 is needed.
How long does an EICR last?+
Up to 5 years. The Electrical Safety Standards Regulations require an inspection of the fixed electrical installation at least every 5 years (or sooner if the report says so), with a copy to tenants within 28 days and any C1, C2 or FI remedial work done within 28 days of the report.
When does an EPC expire and what rating do I need?+
An EPC lasts 10 years from the date it is issued. To let a property in England and Wales you currently need at least a band E rating unless a valid exemption is registered, and the government has confirmed plans to raise the minimum towards band C around 2030, so a D or E rating is worth planning around now.
What happens if I do not protect the deposit?+
A deposit on an assured tenancy must go into a government-approved scheme within 30 days of receipt, with the prescribed information served on the tenant. Miss it and a court can award the tenant 1 to 3 times the deposit, and, seriously for landlords, possession claims become much harder to pursue until the deposit position is fixed.
