Compliance calendar generator
Enter when each check was last done in your shared house and get the next due dates. Download them into Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar.
Not yet reviewed by a solicitor. These are the usual intervals. Your licence conditions, insurer or fire risk assessor may set shorter ones.
How it works
Enter the date each check was last done. We add the usual interval: 12 months for gas safety, five years for the electrical safety report (EICR), ten years for the EPC, a year for the fire risk assessment review and the alarm check, and up to five years for a shared house licence. You get a list of next due dates and a calendar file with a reminder 30 days before each one.
Example: the gas safety check was last done on 15 January 2026, so the next one is due by 15 January 2027. If the EICR was done on 1 March 2022, the next report is due by 1 March 2027.
The law behind it
Landlords in England must keep gas appliances safe with a yearly check, have the electrics inspected at least every five years, provide a valid EPC and fit working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. A fire risk assessment of the shared areas is a legal duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Some shared houses also need a licence from the council.
Questions
How often do I need a gas safety check?
Every 12 months, by a Gas Safe registered engineer, for any gas appliances you provide.
How often is an electrical safety report (EICR) needed?
At least every five years for a let home, or sooner if the last report says so.
Is a fire risk assessment a legal duty for a shared house?
Yes, for the shared areas: the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes it a legal duty. Reviewing it every year, and after any significant change, is good practice.
When does a shared house licence need renewing?
Licences last up to five years. Use the end date on your own licence if it's shorter, and check with your council whether your house needs one.
Are these dates legal advice?
No. They're the usual intervals and haven't been reviewed by a solicitor yet. Your licence conditions, insurer or fire risk assessor may set shorter ones.
