Lendlord launches compliance solution to help landlords evidence service under Renters’ Rights Act
02 April 2026
Property management and finance platform Lendlord has launched a new compliance solution to help landlords evidence service of the Renters’ Rights Act 2026 information sheet ahead of the 31st May deadline.
The Information Sheet, published by the government on 20th March, must be provided to tenants in existing tenancies created before 1st May 2026. While it can be issued by post or email, landlords are expected to demonstrate that it has been received, with failure to do so potentially resulting in fines of up to £7,000 per tenancy.
Lendlord’s latest update focuses on addressing this proof of service requirement, bringing together a set of tools designed to help landlords distribute the document, track tenant engagement and retain a clear audit trail.
The solution introduces three core features within the platform:
- In-app acknowledgement system, prompting tenants to confirm they have read the document before progressing, with further detail available here.
- E-signature integration, enabling landlords to send the information sheet digitally and capture a signed record of receipt.
- Tenancy agreement generator, allowing landlords to produce solicitor-backed periodic agreements aligned with the latest statutory requirements.
Lendlord has also introduced a dedicated workflow to support landlords with this process, allowing them to send the Information Sheet, track whether it has been received and reviewed, and obtain signed acknowledgment within a single dashboard.
The tool is available here: https://app.lendlord.io/renters-right-act
Together, these features are designed to give landlords a verifiable record of delivery and engagement, reducing the risk of disputes if service is later challenged.
Aviram Shahar, co-founder and CEO of Lendlord, said:
“The requirement itself is straightforward, landlords need to provide the official information sheet to every tenant by 31st May, but the real issue is proving that it has actually been received. The burden of proof sits entirely with the landlord, and a standard email or proof of posting does not confirm that the document has been opened or read.
“What we are seeing is that this is less about sending a document and more about evidencing service in a way that stands up if challenged. That is where the risk sits, particularly for portfolio landlords where penalties apply per tenancy.
“For brokers and advisers supporting landlord clients, the requirement introduces an additional layer of compliance risk and so our focus has been on helping them create a clear, time-stamped audit trail, whether that is through tracked document sharing or a signed record, so they can demonstrate compliance with confidence rather than relying on assumptions.”
