TenancyDesk keeps everything your rented properties need in one place: the certificates, the deadlines and the legal documents. It tells you before anything runs out, and it writes the paperwork for you, filled in and checked. Ten minutes to set up. After that it does the remembering.
Official wording reproduced from the prescribed form. Only your details are added.
The rules changed on 1 May 2026. A rent increase on the wrong form is worth nothing, a missing written statement is a fine of up to £7,000, and a possession notice with the wrong notice period costs you months. TenancyDesk is built so none of that happens to you.
Five of the screens you get once you sign in. The properties are made up; the screens are the real thing. Use the arrows to move between them.
Seven days free on any plan. Add your properties, make a document, and see what it saves you. Cancel before day seven and you pay nothing.
