Outsource you compliance.
Protect your returns.
The Renters’ Rights Act just turned landlord compliance into enforceable risk. Most landlords aren’t ready. The regulator is – and councils are already acting.
Compliance Shield is our answer to that. It is not an app, it is not software, and it is not a checklist. It is an expert-led service, built by landlords and compliance professionals, underpinned by rigorous process and the right controls.
Designed to function as your outsourced risk and compliance department. We take responsibility for getting things right, so that weight is no longer yours to carry.
Are you ready for the 1st May? Councils are with enforcement funding of £60m just this year. Failure to comply could mean fines of up to £40,000 per property and the councils are motivated to issue them.

Over the years the compliance has just grown and the Renters Rights Act was the final straw for me. I finally decided to stop learning more systems and just outsource it. I only wish I’d done it sooner. They picked up things I’d missed just through sheer volume.

The Renters’ Rights Act and what it means for you as a landlord
The Renters’ Rights Act will come into force on 1 May 2026. Here’s what landlords need to know:
What’s actually changing, and what you need to do about it.
- Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions are abolished. You now need a legally valid reason to end a tenancy.
- New tenancy structure. All tenancies are now periodic from day one – no fixed terms.
- Stricter safety and maintenance standards. The Decent Homes Standard now applies to the private rented sector.
- Mandatory documentation. Landlords must issue a Government Information Sheet to tenants – failure to do so risks a £7,000 fine.
- Rent increases are regulated. Increases can only happen once per year and must follow a formal process.
- Fines of up to £40,000 for serious breaches, enforced by local councils.
The good news is that with expert help, compliance is manageable. That’s exactly what Compliance Shield is built for.
