In response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 came into force on the 23rd of January 2023.
If you have responsibility for managing multiple occupancy residencies, it’s important that you understand your new duties under these regulations to ensure that you meet all your obligations.
Where do the new regulations apply?
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 apply to all non-domestic parts of multi-occupied residential buildings and all houses that have been converted into two flats or a house with multiple occupations.
What is now required under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022?
While the Fire Safety Order 2005 already requires the responsible person to undertake and regularly review their fire risk assessment of the building and maintain precautions that manage the risk of fire, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 goes further.
In all multi-occupied residential buildings with two or more sets of domestic premises, there will be a requirement to:
- Provide relevant fire safety instructions to residents, which will include instructions on how to report a fire and any other instruction which sets out what a resident must do once a fire has started based on the evacuation strategy of the building.
- Provide residents with information relating to the importance of fire doors for fire safety, such as keeping them closed when not in use, not tampering with self-closing devices and reporting any faults or damages immediately.
- Fire safety information must be provided to all residents every 12 months, and new residents must receive the information as soon as reasonably practicable after they have moved in.
In residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres, but under 18 metres, in height, there will be a further requirement to undertake annual checks of apartment entrance doors and quarterly checks of all fire doors in common areas.
For high-rise residential buildings (containing two or more sets of domestic premises that are at least 18 metres above ground level or with at least seven storeys), additional information must be provided to Fire and Rescue Services to help them to plan and, if needed, provide an effective operational response, such as:
- Keeping up-to-date, electronic building floor plans.
- Placing a hard copy of these plans, along with a single-page building plan identifying key firefighting equipment, in a secure information box on site.
- Providing information about the design and materials of a high-rise building’s external wall system and informing the Fire and Rescue Service of any material changes to these walls.
- Provide information in relation to the level of risk that the design and materials of the external wall structure give rise to and any mitigating steps taken.
- Undertaking monthly checks on the operation of lifts intended for use by firefighters and on evacuation lifts and checking the functionality of other key pieces of firefighting equipment.
- Reporting any defective lifts of equipment to the local Fire and Rescue Service as soon as possible after detection if the fault can’t be fixed within 24 hours.
- Installing and maintaining a secure information box in the building which must contain the name and contact details of the responsible person and hard copies of the building floor plans.
- Fitting signage visible in low light or smoky conditions that identifies flat and floor numbers in the stairwells of relevant buildings.
- Keeping a record of the outcome of checks, which must also be made available to residents.

As a landlord or letting agent, check-in and check-out inventory reports are an integral part of your ongoing property management. Here’s how they differ and why they also work so well together.
What is a check-in report?
At the beginning of a tenancy, a check-in report is completed with the incoming tenants. This is a checklist of key points that can be tailored to the specific needs of the property and will assess each item on the checklist so that there’s a clear and concise record of the property’s condition – from day one.
Check-in reports can be completed with new tenants as you welcome them to the property. Alternatively, at No Letting Go, we also offer an automated check-in and signing service.
Why do you need a check-in report?
Completing a check-in with new tenants is a great way to start off a tenancy on a good footing. Right from the beginning, you and your tenants will have an agreement on the current state of the property and a clear understanding of the expectations of how that property should be maintained.
What is a check-out report?
Completed at the end of the tenancy, the check-out report ensures the property is returned to the condition it was when your tenants first moved in.
A check-out report entails a thorough inspection of the property so that any actions needed to return the property to an acceptable state can be highlighted. It will cover aspects such as cleanliness, contents, any damage and the property’s overall condition.
The benefits of a check-out report?
As a check-out report assesses the state of the property at the end of a tenancy, it enables parties to quickly determine what needs to be done before a tenant can ensure their deposit is returned.
In addition to providing clarity to tenants, check-out reports will create a smooth transition between tenants and can minimise the maintenance needed between lettings, reducing the time the property is left vacant.
The combined value of check-in and check-out reports
Check-in and check-out reports bookend a tenancy and provide a comprehensive audit trail so that changes to the property during the tenancy are clearly flagged. Because of this, they are invaluable in preventing or resolving disputes between landlords and tenants over who is responsible for damages and repairs.
Why choose No Letting Go for your check-in and check-out reports?
Regulations relating to rental properties change regularly. Completing one of our reports is an efficient way to ensure that you are fully compliant and are looking after the investment you’ve made in your property.
And because our reports are so comprehensive, we guarantee that properties are protected by our reports, with only 0.01% of cases ending up in adjudication.

When it comes down to your rental property, sometimes you need to spend money to make money. Keeping your property well maintained is a good investment because of the increase in rental value it can deliver.
But where should landlords focus when upgrading their property to boost its rental return?
Why Upgrade your Rental property?
Any upgrade to a rental property should consider the cost of the upgrade in terms of ROI. Landlords need to look for simple and cost-effective ways to upgrade their property in a way that has a meaningful impact on the minds of potential tenants.
There are many changes a landlord can make to their property. Still, unless it protects the long-term condition of the property or works to attract tenants to pay the best rates possible, landlords should question whether it really is necessary.
As a landlord, consider the maximum rental fee you can achieve for the location and make investments that give you the best chance of achieving that, remembering not to price your property out of the market.
How to Upgrade your Property and Increase your Rental Return
Some simple yet effective ways that you can boost your property include:
- Give it curb appeal: Make a good first impression to give a viewer the sense that the property is worth looking at and is being looked after. A painted front door, some tended plant pots, security lights and cut lawn and hedges can make all the difference.
- A fresh lick of paint: A new coat of paint in neutral colours will make a property look fresh and clean. Keeping colours neutral appeals to a broader spectrum of people.
- Install practical flooring: Carpets may be cosy, but they get dirty quickly and are harder to maintain to keep looking tidy. Wood or laminate floors are easier to keep clean and are hard-wearing.
- Remove tired furniture: Broken or worn furniture should be replaced to keep the property’s overall look well-maintained.
- Upgrade the kitchen: It may seem like a major investment, but an attractive kitchen is a big attraction. Choose a style that won’t age and is practical. If a whole new kitchen is too expensive, you could replace the cupboard doors or worktops.
- Upgrade the bathroom: A tired and unkempt bathroom can be a turnoff for tenants, so it’s worth ensuring that it’s kept fresh looking and well-maintained.
- Maintain the garden: Outdoor spaces are treasured, and tenants pay a premium to have one. Keep the space low maintenance and well-kept, and you will benefit from the investment.
Taking Simple Steps
A few simple changes can significantly impact the rental value you can achieve. They also ensure that your property is rental-ready and minimises inter-tenancy downtime.
It’s also important to consider the demographic of the people you are most likely to rent to and make changes that appeal to them most.
No Letting Go
Ensuring that your property is always rental-ready and staying on top of maintenance at all times can be a continuous time commitment.

One of the many decisions facing a landlord is how to manage their rental property. It’s a time-consuming but potentially rewarding job, and while some people relish the opportunity, others may worry about how to find the time.
If you are trying to decide whether to self-manage a rental property or engage a property management company, here are some pros and cons to help you make an informed choice.
Why Self-Manage your Property?
The role of a property manager can take the stress and strain of managing a property out of the hands of the landlord, so it may seem obvious to use their services. Still, there are several advantages to managing your own property:
- No management fees, so doing it yourself potentially saves money.
- Managing the property means you’re keeping an eye on it yourself and have greater control over the big investments you need to make when purchasing and renting out a property.
- You get to learn the ropes by doing the job yourself and you can benefit from the management experience if you decide to increase your portfolio.
- Avoid the risk of hiring a poor property manager. A poorly managed property or ignored tenant complaints are detrimental to the tenant and can expose you to legal and financial consequences because you can’t delegate your legal responsibilities.
- Doing the job yourself means you have better awareness and will avoid someone else’s poor judgment or mistakes.
- No one cares as much as you about your property. Being close to it also means you can spot new opportunities to increase the return on your investment.
Why Hire a Property Manager?
Hiring a property manager enables a landlord to avoid some of the negative aspects of managing a property, and the service they deliver can bring many benefits:
- You don’t have to worry about finding the time to manage the property properly.
- You benefit from professional expertise to ensure you meet legal obligations and that the right checks are being made.
- All the administration of running a property is done for you.
- You don’t have to deal with difficult situations, such as rent arrears or evictions.
- Effective property management can save you money in the long term.
- You benefit from the network of trades and suppliers that property managers have access to.
- Not spending time managing a property means you can focus on growing your portfolio or doing more of what you want.
- Problems can be solved more quickly as managers have access to more resources and experience.
Finding the Right Management Services for You
Deciding on whether to manage a property yourself or engage a property manager will depend on your personal circumstances. Still, all landlords will want to look after their investment, ensuring that it can deliver income over the long term.
At No Letting Go, we appreciate that landlords’ needs vary, so our range of services are flexible, allowing landlords to benefit from working in partnership with our experts and finding the optimal way to manage their properties.

If there is damp in your rented property, it’s an issue that needs to be resolved quickly, but who is responsible for doing the work – the landlord or the tenant? Notably, both need to act.
What causes dampness and mould?
Damp in a property can cause mould, and there are several reasons it can occur.
The most common reason for damp is condensation. This is caused by air carrying an excess of moisture coming into contact with a cold surface. This commonly occurs in a property that isn’t properly ventilated or heated.
Penetrating damp is another cause of mould, when water can come through a wall or roof due to cracks in the building, missing roof tiles, faulty plumbing, etc.
Then there’s rising damp, when bricks or concrete soak up groundwater, causing the damp to rise up the walls.
The cause of damp can be apparent, but where it isn’t, a damp expert can be brought in to survey the property and how tenants are using it to help determine the cause of the dampness and why mould is occurring.
Why does damp need to be tackled?
Mould can cause serious health problems for those living in the property.
It is unsightly, but, more importantly, it can lead to respiratory problems and an increase in the risk of allergies, asthma and immune system problems. Therefore, it needs to be eradicated from the property, especially as it puts children and elderly people at the most significant risk.
When is the tenant responsible for the damp?
Understanding the causes of damp can help determine whether the tenant is responsible for it or the landlord. If a property isn’t ventilated or heated properly by the tenant, assuming all heating and ventilation systems are working properly, then the tenant may be responsible. This is especially true if they generate lots of condensation through day-to-day activities, such as cooking, showering or drying laundry, and not ventilating rooms properly.
Cooking with pan lids on, using extractor fans, opening windows in the morning, and drying clothes outdoors are examples of actions that tenants should take to reduce condensation. Tenancy agreements may stipulate requirements for ventilation and heating and put expectations on tenants to prevent condensation and how to manage this, so it’s important for tenants to understand their obligations.
When is the landlord responsible for the damp?
When mould affects the health and safety of tenants, landlords are responsible for taking action to address the mould and its cause. This means landlords are responsible for the following:
- Ensuring effective ventilation and heating systems are installed and carrying out repairs when necessary
- Addressing poor insulation
- Repairing leaks caused by faults in the property’s infrastructure
- Fixing broken plumbing
- Inspecting issues and organising repairs
Don’t ignore mould or health risks.
How we live in a property and how it is maintained will significantly impact how mould develops; both the landlord and tenant need to take action to keep mould from occurring and ensure that the property remains fit to live in.

Any pest infection needs to be acted upon quickly, so it’s essential to understand the causes and who is responsible for dealing with it before the problems caused by pests become worse.
Pests mean trouble!
Whether rats, mice, wasps, fleas, bedbugs or cockroaches, an infestation of any pest causes property damage and potentially leads to illness due to the unsanitary conditions they can create.
Initially, you may not always see the culprits of the infestation yourself, but signs such as droppings, gnawed woodwork, nesting or strange smells are clues there may be unwanted visitors.
At these first signs of infestation, it’s important to act quickly, so whoever is responsible for dealing with the infestation must do so immediately. Leaving it will only mean a more significant issue to resolve in the future.
Determining who is responsible for dealing with pests – landlord or tenant – may not always be obvious, and it can depend on the cause of the infestation, but it shouldn’t be allowed to cause delay.
When is the tenant responsible for dealing with a pest infestation?
If an infestation can be linked to rubbish not being disposed of properly or the property not being kept clean. In these cases, the tenant will likely be held responsible for taking action.
When is the landlord responsible for dealing with a pest infestation?
Landlords are responsible for ensuring the property they rent is fit and safe to live in. This means if the cause of the infestation is a result of the landlord not meeting their obligations, they will need to deal with the matter. For example, a landlord is likely to be held responsible if:
- The infestation makes the property unfit to live in
- The infestation was present before the tenant moved in
- Repairs to the property are needed to prevent pests from entering, such as broken drains or cracked walls
- Actions taken previously failed to resolve the issue
Landlords should carry out repairs, bring in pest control or contact the local council to address the issue. If the cause is the landlord’s fault, the tenant should not be charged for any action taken to eradicate the infestation.
The tenancy agreement may also contain clauses relating to responsibility for managing pest infections and should also be referred to help determine who is responsible for what and when.
What can be done to deal with infestations?
It’s important to act quickly, informing the landlord when signs of a potential infestation are first noticed so that the landlord and tenant can work together to resolve the matter.
Send photo evidence of the issue to the landlord and locate the cause and source of the infestation so it can be eradicated. Pest control can assist with this.
Pests can do serious damage to the landlord’s property, so it is in their interest to deal with them quickly. Still, if they are not acting, tenants can contact the local council’s environmental health team, who can arrange an inspection, give advice and take enforcement action.

Over recent years, we have all been aware of the need to make green choices, reduce energy use and cut CO2 emissions to protect the planet.
With the Energy Saving Trust stating that approximately 22% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from homes, for any landlord looking to improve their green credentials, their properties are an excellent place to start.
Here are our top tips for making your rental property greener.
Top tips for Green Properties
1. Install renewable energy heating systems. This is a more expensive option for reducing your CO2 emissions. Still, solar panels, heat pumps and biomass boilers are becoming more popular as replacements for fossil fuel heating systems, and their efficiency will save money in the long run.
2. Install double or triple glazing and insulated external doors. Better glazing will help a property to retain heat, as will a good-quality door with integrated insulation. They are designed to be durable and last a long time while retaining heat means you will use less fuel for heating.
3. Insulate your property. With 25% of heat being lost through uninsulated roofs, insulating walls, floors, and roofs will significantly reduce your heating costs by preventing heat loss. And because it’s so effective, having insulation means you will enhance the benefits of other heat-saving initiatives.
4. Prevent draughts. Fill in cracks around doors and windows to prevent heat loss, and use draught excluders around doors if they can’t be replaced.
5. Install a smart meter. These are programmable, so you can better control when the heating is turned on and off. It means you can use less heating and will be more aware of how much you are using.
6. Use energy-efficient lightbulbs. Besides using less energy than regular lightbulbs, they also last longer and need replacing less often.
7. Don’t waste water. Dripping taps add to your water consumption, and even though it may seem insignificant, the water wasted adds up over a sustained period. Not only should we not waste water, especially if water shortages become a feature of climate change, but occupants will be charged for this wasted water if they are on a water meter.
8. Use environmentally friendly paint. Paint with zero levels of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) content is environmentally friendly. Still, they are also better for our health because they contain fewer chemical compounds that cause harm when breathed in.
9. Use sustainable building materials. If you are renovating, repairing or building a property, choose materials that have been recycled, are sustainable and are sourced locally so that they will have a smaller negative impact on the environment.
Time to make a change
The UK Committee on Climate Change says that around £250 billion will need to be invested by 2050 to bring the nation’s housing stock up to date*** and that now is the time to start making that investment.
The good news is that there are many ways to improve our properties’ green potential so that we can all start taking steps forward, no matter your budget. In return, you’ll begin to preserve the environment and ultimately protect the planet’s atmosphere.
And as an additional benefit, these changes will add to the value of your property and its desirability to potential tenants who are also looking for a safe home that doesn’t cost them an arm and a leg to keep warm.

The risk of Legionella may not be as well-known as carbon monoxide poisoning or fire, but it is yet another threat to a tenant’s health. As for the other risks, landlords have specific obligations to manage the risk.
What is Legionella
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Legionnaires’ disease is “a potentially fatal form of pneumonia caused by the inhalation of small droplets of contaminated water containing Legionella.” The legionella bacteria can cause fevers, headaches, shortness of breath, coughing and nausea. Older people with lung issues or poor immune systems are particularly at risk.
Legionella can grow in all hot and cold artificial water systems that provide the right environment to allow the bacteria cells to multiply.
Why do landlords need to be aware of Legionella?
As a landlord renting a property, you have a legal responsibility to ensure the health and safety of your tenants. This means keeping your property free from health hazards in accordance with UK legislation such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and the HSE’s L8 Approved Code of Practice.
As Legionella is a potential health risk, landlords have a legal duty to make an assessment of the risk of Legionella and then manage and control any possible incidence of exposure to the bacteria.
How can landlords manage the risks from Legionella?
Conducting the appropriate risk assessments determines Legionella’s risk, enabling landlords to understand where there are risks and put in place measures to mitigate them.
How frequently risk assessments for Legionella need to be conducted will vary. Properties in regular use, where water systems aren’t left standing, will likely need less frequent assessments than older properties or a property where water systems are left standing for long periods.
Following a risk assessment, certain control measures can be implemented to help reduce the risk of illness:
• Controlling water temperature so it isn’t kept within the range where Legionella can develop. Hot water needs to be hot, and cold water needs to be cold.
• Don’t allow water to stagnate in water systems; keep it flowing.
• Flush water systems through before new tenants move in.
• Keep water tanks covered to avoid debris getting into them.
• Control the release of water vapour.
• Remove redundant pipework.
Who can assess the Legionella risk?
When conducting a risk assessment for Legionella, a professionally trained or accredited assessor isn’t required. Still, the assessment must be conducted by a competent person who understands the risk of Legionella and where it may lurk within the property. With this specialist knowledge, you may conduct thorough assessments, putting tenants at risk.
How can No Letting Go help you?
The experienced team at No Letting Go regularly conducts Legionella risk assessments pre-tenancy. They will continue to ensure that properties are well maintained and remain a safe place to live or work in through our mid-tenancy assessments and end-of-tenancy services.
You can learn more about Legionella, the obligations placed on landlords to manage this risk, and actions you can take to protect yourself and your tenants by visiting our website here.
Our range of tenancy services are designed to ensure that landlords remain on top of their duty to protect tenants.

What happens if your tenant wants to install their own security measures? Should a landlord stop them even though it may be in the interests of both parties?
We look at how a landlord can navigate the issue with their tenants and why additional security may be a good idea.
Do landlords have to install security systems?
While landlords need to provide a level of safety and security for their property, there’s no specific requirement to install security systems as there are for health and safety measures such as carbon monoxide monitors and fire alarms.
Installing a security system is likely to reassure tenants and may be an additional factor in choosing your property. If a security system is installed, you should make tenants aware of it and what it covers.
Neither is there a law specifically stopping a tenant from installing a security system themselves. Still, they must ensure that the camera only covers their rental property if it includes CCTV.
What does your tenancy agreement say?
The clearest direction on whether your tenant can install a security system is likely to come from your tenancy agreement.
Whilst having no legal weight to stop an installation, the terms of a tenancy agreement may stipulate that tenants can’t make alterations to the property, which could cover a new security system. Even if the landlord permits the tenant to install a security system, they may still be required to return the property to its original state when they move out.
Suppose the tenancy agreement is silent on the subject. In that case, a tenant may see no issue with going ahead and installing their own system, emphasising the need for a clear and comprehensive tenancy agreement.
Why extra security can be of mutual benefit
Before dismissing the idea of additional security measures, landlords should first consider the benefits this can bring them:
• Additional security can make your property more attractive to potential tenants
• Tenants get peace of mind, which means they are happier
• More security can deter break-ins and vandalism
• Avoid issues of liability after a break-in if tenants accuse you of not taking sufficient measures
• Giving a fair hearing to requests builds your reputation as a good landlord
How can landlords support new security systems?
It’s easier to accept changes if you are included in the process. By making sure tenants share access codes, operating instructions and by taking the opportunity to agree in advance to a new system, you can feel more comfortable and ensure that any changes don’t cause problems.
The right security system can give a mutual benefit. Still, it’s better to discuss before any action is taken to agree on a new system and ensure any changes stick to the tenancy agreement, which can be verified through tenancy check-in services and routine inspections.
If a new security system isn’t acceptable, take time to understand the tenant’s concerns and look for an alternative solution to ensure they feel safe in their home.

Good relationships are built on trust, which holds true between a tenant and landlord. To help foster a good relationship to ensure a more harmonious tenancy, here are our top tips for building and reinforcing that trust.
8 Tips for Tenants and Landlords to Build Mutual Trust
1. Ensure the property is well maintained.
Tenants feel safe and more secure knowing you care for their safety and well-being. Ensure that gas and electrical equipment are serviced as necessary, carbon monoxide and fire alarms are fitted as required, and inventories are completed to ensure that the property is maintained in good order and problems are identified early.
2. Make time for managing your property.
Property management isn’t a 9 to 5 job; it takes an investment of time and effort to be a good landlord. If you don’t have the time to manage your property and deal with tenants’ needs, consider using third-party support to ensure your investment works for you and your tenants.
3. Communicate
Make sure your tenant can speak with you when they need you and share key information in good time. Having clear channels of communication in place that flow both ways makes it easy and convenient to share important information.
4. Read the lease agreement
Tenants also need to understand their obligations, and the lease agreement defines the relationship between both parties. So, it’s an important document for laying the foundations of a good relationship. Following the lease agreements helps prevent any surprises that can break trust with either party.
5. Report damage immediately
Let the landlord know you care for their property and will take action to minimise harm by reporting problems quickly. However, be mindful of what you can fix yourself within the terms of the lease agreement to minimise the impact of a problem. For the landlord’s part, when a fault is reported, act promptly or tenants may start reacting to deteriorating living conditions through complaints.
6. Keep the property clean
If tenants want their landlord to maintain their property, they also have to play their part, keeping it clean and well-ventilated to prevent mould, dampness and pest infestations.
7. Pay rent on time every time
This should always happen, but if you are struggling as the tenant, let your landlord or agent know in advance to discuss alternative arrangements.
8. Be a good neighbour
Landlords don’t want to deal with complaints from neighbours about antisocial or inconsiderate tenants, so it isn’t just the landlord you need to maintain good relations with for a successful tenancy.
Building the foundations for good relations
Building and maintaining a good tenant-landlord relationship starts with laying the right foundations on both sides, with the expectations of each party clear from the outset.
No Letting Go’s range of services covering pre-tenancy, first-day check-ins, and mid- and end-of-tenancy inspections ensure that tenants and landlords start off with the same expectations consistently upheld through regular inspections.
Not only do they offer landlords reassurance regarding their property, but tenants are also reassured that the property is being maintained for their safety and comfort and assessed by an impartial third party.
Our inventories, check-ins and management services help all parties to respect boundaries and be clear over their responsibilities, reminding landlords that their property is the tenant’s home and tenants that their home is the landlord’s property.
