Renters' Rights Act (4 guides)
What changed for landlords: periodic tenancies, rent increases, penalties and council powers.
For landlords and letting agents in the UK
Know exactly where every property stands.
Most associations give you information. TLA finds what needs attention across your portfolio, prepares what fixes it, and keeps every property's records current.
£149 a year or £59 a quarter. Nothing changes without your say-so.

The problem
Information is not the hard part. Keeping on top of every property is.
Dates everywhere
Gas, electrical, EPC, alarms and deposits, each with its own date, for every property.
Documents scattered
Certificates and agreements in email, folders and the software you use now, with no single view.
Rules that keep moving
The Renters' Rights Act, the landlord register and Making Tax Digital change what each property needs.
What makes TLA different

How it starts
Bring your portfolio. We organise it.
Step 1
Bring what you have
A spreadsheet from the software you use now, a folder of certificates and agreements, or one property to start.
Step 2
See your Health Check and Action Plan
Every property checked, with one Action Plan in the order that matters. You confirm everything before it is added.
Step 3
Fix it and keep it current
Use the documents TLA prepares, and every completed step lands on the Property Timeline. Portfolio Autopilot keeps it current from there.

Questions
Good to know
Do I need to change how I work?
No. Bring what you already have. Nothing is added to your portfolio until you confirm it.
Can I keep my current association?
Yes. Keep it while you compare the result with your own properties.
Does TLA register my property for me?
No. TLA tells you what needs registering, for which properties and by when, and helps you get ready. You register and pay any government fee yourself.
Does it work for letting agents?
Yes. Agents bring their managed portfolio and work across it from one place. The Foundation Agent Programme brings the portfolio in for you.
Is TLA a law firm?
No. TLA is a landlord membership organisation. Legal advice is provided separately by appropriately qualified professionals where required.
Who are TLA Trusted Partners?
