What's changing

The Renters' Rights Act puts every landlord on a register.

Every rented property in England has to be registered on the new private rented sector database, with your certificates up to date. The rules apply whether you let one flat or ten.

15 Dec

The landlord database opens in 2026. Regional deadlines to register start with the West Midlands on 14 March 2027.

£65

A year, per property. You'll need your gas, electrical and energy certificates to hand to complete each entry.

£7,000

The fine for letting without registering or not keeping your entry up to date. False information or repeat breaches: up to £40,000.

28 days

To update your entry after a change, such as a renewed gas certificate, a new EPC or a rent change.

When do you have to register?

Every region has its own deadline. Pick where your rental is.

See it

Every home, every date, one screen.

A home's page: its compliance score, the fixes that raise it, and each certificate with its expiry

Every certificate with its expiry date, the tenant copies you still owe, and the database deadline for its region.

The Money screen: income, costs and profit for the tax year, and the tax the logged costs save

1

Sign in with your email

Enter your email address and type in the code we send you. There's no password to create or forget.

2

Add your first home

About two minutes: the address, a few questions about the home, and a photo or upload of each certificate you have.

3

KeptLet watches the dates

A red, amber or green light for each home, reminders 60, 30 and 7 days before anything expires, and your region's database deadline.

Everything in a plan

Your property file

Photograph or upload the gas safety record, electrical report, EPC, deposit certificate and licence. Find any of them in seconds.

Reminders at 60, 30 and 7 days

Enough notice to book an engineer at a sensible price, instead of paying for an emergency visit the week it runs out.

Landlord database

A checklist of everything it asks for and each home's deadline, worked out from its postcode, then a reminder to update your entry within 28 days of every renewal.

Repairs log

Each repair request and what you did about it, dated. If there's ever a dispute or a council visit, your evidence is written down.

Plain-English rules

Tell KeptLet about the property and it works out what you need, from gas and alarms to Right to Rent, with links to GOV.UK.

New tenancy checklist

What to give the tenant before they move in, the day-one alarm test and the 30-day deadline to protect the deposit.

Proof of service

Send the tenant their certificate from the app and the date is saved. One tap builds a zip of everything a council asks for.

Trades

Book the gas check by WhatsApp, text or email with the address and dates filled in, and tell the tenant about the visit.

Rent and money

Tick off rent, log costs and snap receipts. See what your costs take off your tax bill and the ones landlords often forget.

Check-in photos

Dated room-by-room photos at check-in and check-out, side by side: the evidence deposit schemes look for.

Joint owners

Share your homes with a joint owner or partner, and give your accountant read-only access.

Making Tax Digital

See from the rent you've logged whether it applies to you and from when. Quarterly updates to HMRC from the app are coming, once HMRC recognition is complete.

Messages and letters

Ready-made messages for every moment of a let, from the welcome to a rent reminder, filled in with the tenant and address.

Welcome pack

Your own welcome pack for each home, with bins, meters and Wi-Fi notes, sent by WhatsApp, text or email.

Tenants sign online

Tenants agree to documents, pets, repayment plans and deposit deductions with a code sent to their email. You keep a dated record.

HMOs and shared homes

Tell KeptLet who lives there and it adds the HMO checks: a fire risk assessment and fire alarms. Let a home furnished and it adds furniture fire-safety labels, and recommends appliance (PAT) testing.

Bring your homes in

Paste your list from Excel or a spreadsheet. KeptLet matches the columns and spots duplicates, so fifty homes take minutes.

The life of a let

Every rule in the order you meet it, from finding a tenant to getting the deposit back, with a short daily quiz to keep it fresh.

Are you ready for the landlord database?

Answer seven questions about your rental. You'll get a readiness score and a list of anything to sort out.

A year with KeptLet

Compliance isn't a one-off. It's a calendar that never stops.

An example year for a landlord with three properties. Every one of these dates would otherwise live in your head.

Gas safety renews every year, the electrical report every 5 years and the EPC every 10. The long ones are the ones people forget.

Someone always watching the dates, for about £1 a week.

FAQ

Straight answers

How do I log in?

Use Log in at the top of this page, or go to app.keptlet.app. Enter your email address and we'll send you a code; there's no password. The same account works on your phone and your laptop.

Is this legal advice?

No. KeptLet keeps your documents and dates organised and links to the official GOV.UK guidance. For legal questions about your tenancy, speak to a solicitor or your landlord association.

Does it register me on the database?

No, you register yourself on the government service. KeptLet gathers everything it asks for, so you can do it in one sitting.

Once I've registered, am I done?

No. The £65 fee renews every year, and you have 28 days to update your entry whenever something changes, like a renewed gas certificate, a new EPC or a new rent. Not keeping it up to date can be fined up to £7,000. That's exactly the kind of date KeptLet keeps track of.

How does the free trial work?

You can explore with sample data for as long as you like. The 14-day trial starts when you add your first real property. If you don't subscribe, your records stay readable and you can export them; they're never deleted or held back.

I have several properties. What do I pay?

One price covers your whole portfolio: £119 a year for up to 5 homes, £199 for up to 15, and £349 for any number beyond that, all with sending Making Tax Digital updates to HMRC included. One home is £59 a year, plus £40 if you want HMRC submissions.

Where is my data kept?

With Supabase, in Ireland (EU). Only you and the people you invite can see your records. The privacy policy lists every company that helps run KeptLet.

What if I only want the reminders?

Reminders only is £2.99 a month: expiry reminders and the compliance score for all your homes. A full plan adds proof of service, the council bundle, the new-tenancy checklist, the repairs log, trades, rent and money, check-in photos, your own dates, joint owners and HMRC submissions.

Do I need HMRC submissions?

Only if you have to send quarterly updates to HMRC: from April 2026 that's landlords with more than £50,000 of property and self-employed income, falling to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028. Everyone gets their figures sorted into HMRC's categories and an export for their accountant.

Does it work in Wales or Scotland?

Not yet. The rules there are different, so KeptLet covers England only for now.

What happens to my documents if I cancel?

They stay yours. Your account becomes read-only and you can download everything at any time. Reminders and the dashboard stop.

I've only got one property. Is it worth it?

Nearly half of England's landlords own just one property. The rules, and the fines, are the same whether you let one flat or ten.
