Never miss a landlord deadline again. KeptLet keeps every certificate, deadline and legal duty for the homes you let in one place, reminds you before anything runs out, and gets you ready for the new landlord database.
The landlord database opens 15 December 2026.Letting without registering can cost up to £7,000, and without an entry you can't get a court order to regain possession.

Landlord database

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.

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

Sign-ins that run out
You're asked to sign in again after 30 days unused, and every 90 days whatever happens, so a lost device doesn't stay signed in.

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.
