Landlord obligations

Answer questions about your tenancy. Podge names any likely breaches and what you are owed.

What this means

No waffle. Just the number and how it was worked out.

Formula used

Checks each obligation against legal requirements in England and flags non-compliance.

Worked example

No gas safety certificate, deposit unprotected, and entry without notice = three likely legal breaches, each with a specific remedy.

Common questions

What happens if my deposit is not protected?
You may be entitled to between one and three times the deposit amount as a penalty. You can also apply to court. The landlord cannot serve a valid Section 21 notice while the deposit remains unprotected.

Can my landlord enter without 24 hours' notice?
No — except in genuine emergencies. Your right to quiet enjoyment means the landlord must give at least 24 hours' written notice and enter at a reasonable time. You can refuse entry otherwise.
