Lendlord has launched a compliance tool aimed at helping landlords evidence service of the Renters’ Rights Act 2026 information sheet ahead of the 31 May deadline.

The information sheet, published on 20 March, must be provided to tenants in existing tenancies created before 1 May 2026. 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 said its latest platform update is designed to address this requirement by helping landlords distribute the document, track tenant engagement and retain a clear audit trail.

The solution includes an in-app acknowledgement system prompting tenants to confirm they have read the document before progressing, alongside e-signature functionality enabling landlords to capture a signed record of receipt.

It also includes a tenancy agreement generator, which the firm said is solicitor-backed and aligned with the latest statutory requirements.

A dedicated workflow has also been introduced, allowing landlords to send the information sheet, monitor whether it has been received and reviewed, and obtain signed acknowledgement within a single dashboard.

The firm said the aim is to provide landlords and their advisers with a verifiable record of delivery and engagement, reducing the risk of disputes if service is later challenged.

Aviram Shahar (pictured), co-founder and chief executive 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.”
