Questions
Which checks does Rentap suggest for a shared house?
Gas safety, the electrical safety report (EICR), the EPC, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire risk assessment review and your shared house licence. You can change the intervals and add your own checks.
When do the reminders arrive?
60, 30 and 7 days before each due date unless you choose other days. Anything overdue stays flagged until you record the check as done.
Does Rentap tell me whether I need a licence?
No. Whether a shared house needs a licence is decided by your local council. Rentap keeps your licence's renewal date and reminds you before it's due.
Are the suggested intervals legal advice?
No. They're the usual intervals, not legal advice. Your licence conditions, insurer or fire risk assessor may ask for checks more often.
