Overnight contract updates

Automatically convert ASTs into periodic tenancies

 

Regardless of when you sign them or how long they have left to run, all ASTs will convert to periodic tenancies on the commencement date of the Renters' Rights Bill.

 

Goodlord automates contract updates, ensuring compliance from day one.

Simplified Section 13 notices

Reduce human error and replace lost revenue

 

When the Renters' Rights Bill becomes effective, landlords will only be able to raise the rent once a year by serving a Section 13 notice.

 

Goodlord notifies you when you can do this compliantly and automatically populates Form 4, saving you time and reducing the chance of human error. Plus, charging your landlords for this service gives you an all-important new revenue stream.

Full rent coverage until vacant possession

Up to £100K legal expenses per claim

 

The Renters’ Rights Bill will abolish Section 21 without major reform to the courts. The influx of Section 8 notices means any evictions will be significantly delayed.

 

Goodlord's Rent Protection and Legal Expenses covers 100% of rent until vacant possession to protect your income and support you through the eviction process.

More Renters' Rights Bill products

PRO referencing

Goodlord’s market-leading tenant references include both IDVT, PEPs, and sanctions checks. Because they’re returned within 20 hours on average, you can place verified, high-quality tenants in your landlords’ properties without lengthening void periods. 

Tenancy swaps

Tenancy swaps could become more common when ASTs are replaced by periodic tenancies. Goodlord streamlines this process with automated addendums, notifications, and multi-party communication, ensuring smooth and compliant transitions. 

Pet damage insurance

Goodlord's upcoming Pet Damage Insurance will help protect rental properties from pet-related damage, giving landlords peace of mind. More details coming soon.

Rent collection

The Renters' Rights Bill introduces stricter rent collection rules, including a ban on upfront payments. Our platform will prevent you from processing these to keep you compliant. Once a tenancy begins, advance rent will be possible again, in line with the legislation. 

 

Unique tenant bank accounts also allow you to track exactly which tenants have paid when. Anyone in your agency can access this information at any time, meaning you don't need wait for your accounts team or waste their time.  

Audit trails

Discriminating against tenants either with children or receiving benefits will be illegal when the Renters' Rights Bill becomes effective. So if a prospective tenant complains to the Housing Ombudsman, you need to prove why you proceeded with one tenant over another.

 

Goodlord's documented pre-qualification process and audit trails allow you to do exactly this, helping you avoid fines.

Section 8

To serve a Section 8 notice correctly, you need solid documentation and evidence. The Goodlord platform streamlines this process by monitoring, collating, and storing all the necessary information for a claim.

"Other providers might pay out 12 months maximum, but evictions can take longer. We've had a couple of evictions recently which have unfortunately taken over a year, and some rent guarantee products would have stopped payouts by then Goodlord's product can now make sure that doesn't happen.”
