New UK legislation dictates that landlords must distribute the official Information Sheet to their tenants before May 31st. The stakes are high: non-compliant landlords risk facing fines of up to £7,000.
To protect our users and streamline compliance, Lendlord has automated the first step. The Information Sheet is now automatically uploaded into the document section of every tenant profile on the platform. Landlords simply need to choose how they wish to distribute it.
This article outlines the three available sharing methods to help our support and success teams guide users effectively.
