Terms of Use

Effective date: 25 April 2026  ·  landlordriskcheck.co.uk  ·  England & Wales

By accessing or using LandlordRiskCheck you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. About LandlordRiskCheck

LandlordRiskCheck operates the website at landlordriskcheck.co.uk. We provide free compliance reference materials for landlords in England and Wales, including:

All content is produced for general informational purposes only and reflects legislation in force as at 25 April 2026.

2. Not Legal Advice

Nothing on this website — including but not limited to our guides, compliance pack documents, tool outputs, calculator results, or any other content — constitutes legal advice. All content is general reference material only.

Our interactive tools (including the Section 8 Timeline Calculator, Notice Period Calculator, Deposit Penalty Calculator, Compliance Deadline Tracker, and Pre-Tenancy Checklist) produce indicative outputs based on the information you enter. These outputs are for general guidance only. They do not account for the specific facts of your tenancy, the conduct of parties, local court practices, or legal nuances that may affect outcomes in your case.

For any tenancy-specific legal matter — including possession proceedings, deposit disputes, compliance enforcement, or any situation involving potential legal liability — you must consult a qualified solicitor or licensed letting agent with relevant residential landlord experience. LandlordRiskCheck accepts no liability for any action taken or not taken on the basis of any content, tool output, or guide on this website.

3. Calculator and Tool Outputs

Our interactive tools produce estimates and indicative results. In particular:

Tool outputs do not constitute legal advice, professional opinions, or guarantees of any outcome.

4. Accuracy and Currency of Content

We make reasonable efforts to ensure our guides, tool logic, and pack documents are accurate and reflect current legislation. However, landlord and tenancy law changes frequently. We cannot guarantee that all content remains current at every moment. Always verify important legal obligations against official guidance at gov.uk before acting.

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 came into force on 1 May 2026. Our content reflects this legislation as at the effective date above. Subsequent amendments or guidance updates may not be immediately reflected.

5. Geographic Scope

All resources, guides, tools, and documents on this site cover England and Wales only. Landlords in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or the Channel Islands are subject to different legislation and requirements not covered here.

6. Tool Usage Data

Our interactive tools process data you enter entirely within your browser. We do not store, transmit, or process any tenancy-specific information you enter into our tools on our servers. Usage counts displayed on tool cards are indicative estimates for illustrative purposes and do not reflect actual tracked individual usage.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this site — including guides, documents, tool interfaces, illustrations, and written content — is owned by or licensed to LandlordRiskCheck. You may use our documents for your own compliance purposes as a landlord. You may not resell, redistribute commercially, republish, or use our content to create competing products without written permission.

8. Links to Third-Party Sites

Where we link to third-party websites (including gov.uk, deposit scheme providers, Safe Deposits Scotland, or others), we are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of those sites. Links are provided for information only.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LandlordRiskCheck excludes all liability for:

Use of this website, its tools, and our documents is entirely at your own risk.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms at any time. The effective date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
