Housing law & compliance support

We help tenants and landlords understand and meet their legal responsibilities. Housing law can be complicated, and if safety standards, repair duties, or tenancy rules are not followed, it can lead to health risks, financial loss, or legal disputes that might have been prevented.

Many people are unsure about what the law expects from them, which can be confusing and make it hard to know what steps to take. We offer clear, practical advice to help you understand your rights and responsibilities, stay compliant, and deal with problems as they arise. Our aim is to make the legal process easier, reduce your stress, and provide support that suits your needs.

What we offer for compliance

We provide services to help tenants and landlords understand their legal responsibilities and follow housing laws. Our support includes:

  • Advice on gas and electrical safety, including annual gas safety certificates and EICR reports
  • Guidance on fire and smoke alarm rules to help properties meet safety standards
  • Support to help you understand repair responsibilities and legal requirements to make sure they meet legal standards and protect everyone involved
  • We review notices and documents to confirm they are in the correct format, sent on time, and valid for rent checks and other important legal duties.
  • We advise tenants on their rights when landlords fail to meet their legal responsibilities and communicate clearly to resolve compliance issues early.

Our goal is to help you feel confident managing your property or tenancy safely, legally, and responsibly.
