5 Documents a Landlord Must Legally Provide 🏡📑

As a landlord, it's essential to ensure that your rental properties meet legal requirements. Here are 5 key documents that every landlord must provide to their tenants to stay compliant:

Tenancy Agreement: This is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms of the tenancy agreement, including rent amount, payment dates, and responsibilities of both parties.

Gas Safety Certificate: Landlords are required to provide a valid gas safety certificate, showing that all gas appliances have been inspected and are safe to use.

Deposit Protection Information: If you take a deposit, it must be protected by a government-approved scheme. Provide your tenants with the details of where their deposit is held and how it will be returned.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): An EPC provides information about the energy efficiency of the property, helping tenants understand heating costs and environmental impact.

How to Rent Guide: In the UK, landlords must provide the latest "How to Rent" guide, ensuring tenants know their rights and responsibilities at the start of the tenancy.

Providing these documents helps build trust, avoid legal issues, and create a smooth renting experience for both parties. 🏡✅

Are you a landlord looking to maximise your rental yield? Checkout our top 10 tips:

• Improve the Exterior of the Property: The exterior of the property is the first thing potential tenants see, so it’s important to create a good first impression. This could be as a little as improving the outside space like adding a seating area, painting the front door or fixing the fence. Furthermore, maintaining the roof, repairing and replacing it if it has any damages or cleaning, for example, in the gutters.

• Add a Fresh Layer of Paint: A fresh coat of paint can cover up any scuffs, marks or chips on the walls and give the property a clean & updated look. Choose neutral colours that are easy to match with the tenant’s décor.

• Upgrade Key Areas: Focus on renovating or upgrading the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is often the focal point of a home so adding modern appliances, quality countertops, and stylish fixtures can significantly boost the property’s value. Upgrading fixtures and lighting in the bathroom can also add value, and finally deep cleaning the areas to prevent bad smells and removing mould will make tenants more likely to rent.

• Increase Storage Space: Increasing storage space in a rental property can make it more appealing to tenants. Consider adding built-in shelving, wardrobe organisers, or outdoor sheds to provide more space for tenants to store their belongings. These solutions can help make the most of available space and keep living areas organised and clutter-free.

• Increase Energy Efficiency: Investing in simple upgrades like installing energy-efficient windows, doors, and insulation can significantly reduce heat loss. This will be favourable to tenants looking to keep their budgets low and have long lasting benefits in the property. Upgrading doors & windows not only adds a fresh, welcoming touch but also enhances security and style as it is the focus when walking into your new home.

• Install Smart Home Features: Introducing new smart technology into your properties like thermostats, doorbell cameras, lighting and keyless entry systems can attract more tenants looking for convenience. It can also help tenants save money on utilities and can promote security which increases the appeal.

• Offer Additional Amenities: Installing amenities like high-speed internet, washer/dryer units or even a fitness area can increase satisfaction of tenants showing you care for their well-being and living space, it can also justify higher rents.

• Focus on Maintenance and Upkeep: Regular maintenance prevents small issues from becoming costly repairs. Staying on top of upkeep also maintains the property’s value and ensures a good reputation among tenants.

• Flexible Leasing Terms: Offering flexibility in leasing terms (such as short-term leases) can make the property more attractive to a wider range of renters, including professionals who relocate frequently or temporarily.

• Pet Friendly Policies: If you allow pets, ensure the property is equipped with pet-friendly features like a fenced yard or durable flooring. This can broaden your pool of potential tenants and increase rental income.

At HW Residential Lettings, we are not only able to offer guidance, but we also can offer our maintenance service to enable you to increase your rental value.
