Corrections policy
Rental law changes and we get things wrong. When we do, we want to know quickly and fix it in public rather than quietly.
Report an error
Use the contact form and include the page address, the passage you believe is wrong, and — where you can — the legislation, guidance or judgment you are relying on. Reports that cite a source are actioned fastest.
What happens next
- Within 2 working days we acknowledge the report and check it against primary sources.
- Material errors — a wrong deadline, an incorrect legal obligation, a figure that could cost you money — are corrected or the page is unpublished the same day we confirm them.
- Minor errors — typos, broken links, clumsy wording — are fixed in the next content pass without a published note.
- We reply to you either way, including when we conclude the original text was right.
How corrections are labelled
Where a material correction changes the meaning of published guidance, we update the page, refresh its "last reviewed" date and add a short correction note at the foot of the article describing what changed and when. We do not silently rewrite a page that people may have acted on.
Legislative updates
Changes in the law are not corrections. Pages affected by commencement dates, new statutory instruments or devolved changes are reviewed on a 90-day cycle, and immediately when a change is announced. Each page shows when it was last reviewed and when it is next due.
