Compliance
The Compliance Calendar for UK Landlords
A month-by-month landlord compliance calendar — every certificate, inspection and renewal in one place.

Key takeaways
Most landlord compliance stacks against three natural anchors: April (tax year), tenancy anniversary and certificate expiry.
Book Gas Safety 60 days early, EICR 90 days early, EPC 120 days early.
Q1 and September are the busiest months for certified contractors — plan around them.
HMO licences add a five-year renewal cycle that quietly creeps up.
A calendar tied to your portfolio is more useful than a generic checklist.
The three annual anchors
Every compliance item ties to one of three anchor dates: the UK tax year (April), the tenancy anniversary, or the certificate's own expiry date. Cluster your calendar around these anchors and the year plans itself.
Month-by-month landlord calendar
•January — Review Q4 accounts, confirm CP12 renewals for spring tenancies.
•February — Book EICRs falling in the spring inspection window.
•March — Pre-tax-year checklist: expense reconciliation, mileage log.
•April — Tax year end. New tax year starts, refresh property allowances.
•May — Mid-year fire risk assessment review for HMOs.
•June — Confirm insurance renewals and update rebuild valuations.
•July — Portfolio-wide compliance audit — every property, every certificate.
•August — Book any September/October Gas Safety renewals now.
•September — Prepare for Q3 tenancy renewals and rent reviews.
•October — Alarm testing sweep before winter.
•November — Winter maintenance checks (boilers, guttering, insulation).
•December — Book January's tax return submissions with your accountant.
Turning a calendar into a workflow
Landvale derives the calendar from your actual portfolio — every certificate, every tenancy, every appliance — and schedules the renewals for you. No blank monthly template, no manual translation.
