The landlord software we wished existed.
RentDocs is a UK-first landlord platform run by a landlord who got tired of juggling spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and folders full of PDFs — and watching other landlords get fined for missing a single certificate.
Why we built it
I've let out property in the UK for years. Every landlord I know runs their lettings the same way: a Dropbox folder with scanned gas certificates, a WhatsApp thread with the tenant, a spreadsheet of rent payments, and a mild panic every time a new law lands.
That was fine in 2015. In 2026 it's a five-figure fine waiting to happen. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 is scrapping Section 21, expanding the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector, and plugging landlords into a brand-new PRS Ombudsman. If you can't produce an evidence trail, you lose. Existing landlord software is either built for accountants at £30 a month, or built for letting agents and priced accordingly.
So we built the tool we actually wanted: cheap, reliable, UK-only, compliance-first, and honest about what it does and doesn't do.
Why cheap, reliable landlord software matters right now
The last two years have piled more legal risk onto private landlords than the previous ten. Here's what a modern system actually needs to do for you.
Renters' Rights Act 2026
Section 21 is gone. Fixed-term ASTs are gone. Every eviction now needs documented grounds and a paper trail. Software that generates the right notices and stores your evidence is no longer optional.
Civil penalties up to £30,000
Councils can now issue civil penalties in the tens of thousands for HMO breaches, unsafe housing, and repeat compliance failures — with no criminal trial required.
Compliance is a per-tenant burden
Right to Rent checks, EPC certificates, gas safety, electrical safety (EAT ICR 2020), deposit protection prescribed information, How to Rent guides — each one served, each one dated, each one to the right person.
Four sets of rules
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all diverge. Selective licensing zones change constantly. Software that hardcodes 'England only' will get you fined.
The PRS Ombudsman is coming
A tenant will soon be able to raise a formal complaint to a government-backed ombudsman. 'I told them by phone' is not evidence. A timestamped communication log is.
Margins are tighter than ever
Section 24, higher mortgage rates, EPC C upgrades by 2028. Landlord software that costs £30/month per property eats a real chunk of your yield. It doesn't need to.
What makes RentDocs different
- UK-only, all four nations. England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland — with the right How to Rent guide and RRA notice served based on your tenancy start date.
- One flat price. £5/month per property, £3/room for HMOs. No per-tenant fee, no per-signature fee, no locked-behind-Pro-tier e-signatures.
- Evidence-first. The Landlord Protection Centre gives you a compliance score, a full communication log, and audit-ready evidence bundles you can hand to a council or ombudsman.
- Renters' Rights Act ready. Our tenancy agreement generator, statutory document server and reminder logic already reflect the 2026 rules.
- Built by a landlord who uses it daily. Every feature solves a problem a real landlord has hit — not a product manager's guess.
