01
Compliance record
Keep the core certificates, expiry position and retained files against the correct property.
Evidence built as you go
If you need the history later, it is already being built — and can be verified.
Landlord Buddy timestamps important tenancy actions and can export the chronology, rent record, documents, inspections and tenant-document evidence into a structured file set for review or handover. It can also generate a verifiable evidence certificate with a report reference, validation code and document fingerprints.
What this lets you do
Complete the job and keep the useful record behind it.
Landlord Buddy is designed around the practical workflow rather than making the landlord maintain another disconnected checklist.
- Timestamped pre-tenancy, correspondence and tenancy events.
- Verifiable evidence certificates with report reference and code.
- Tenant document delivery/access evidence.
- Rent, maintenance and inspection chronologies.
- One-click Tenancy Evidence Pack for an appointed adviser or solicitor.

- Report reference and validation code
- Tenancy audit CSV
- Rent ledger
- Communications log
- Document index and retained files
- Inspection / maintenance history
Relevant rules & official sources
Keep the legal detail available without making it the whole page.
The summaries below explain why the workflow exists. Landlord Buddy helps organise the process and evidence; the official source remains the authority.
Housing Act 1988 possession proceedingsA possession ground still has to be proved.
The current grounds framework distinguishes mandatory and discretionary grounds and requires the landlord to establish the ground relied upon.
How Landlord Buddy helps: The evidence pack does not decide whether a case succeeds. It gives the landlord or appointed adviser a structured chronology, ledger and document set to review instead of rebuilding the history from scratch.
GOV.UK: grounds for possession ↗Renters’ Rights Act 2025More of the tenancy now depends on dates, written information and process.
The reforms introduced new written-information duties, rental-bidding restrictions, rent-increase procedures and a revised possession framework.
How Landlord Buddy helps: Landlord Buddy is designed so normal actions create timestamps and retained records as a by-product. That is operational evidence, not a legal-compliance guarantee.
GOV.UK: assured periodic tenancies — landlord overview ↗Safety and deposit rulesDifferent obligations create different pieces of evidence.
Safety certificates, tenant copies, deposit protection and prescribed information each have their own statutory requirements and deadlines.
How Landlord Buddy helps: The value of one tenancy record is that those otherwise separate pieces can be exported together when a dispute, support request or solicitor handover requires the full picture.
