For accidental landlords
Suddenly a landlord? Start here.
An inherited house, the flat you moved out of, the place that wouldn’t sell — however it happened, you now hold legal duties with real deadlines. KeepUp gets you compliant from a stack of photographs, without making it your second job.
Free for one place · No credit card · Export everything, anytime
The part nobody warned you about
The duties arrived the day the tenancy started — gas checks, electrical reports, deposit rules — whether or not anyone told you.
The paperwork that came with the property (if any) is a folder of mysteries: what’s valid, what’s expired, what’s missing?
One property doesn’t justify agency software, but a fine for a lapsed certificate costs more than years of any software.
Photograph what you inherited
Every certificate, manual and invoice in the folder — KeepUp reads each one, tells you what it is, what’s still valid and what’s already overdue.
The to-do list the law wrote
Gas record annually, electrical report five-yearly, EPC to advertise — your actual deadlines, from your actual documents, with reminders in good time.
Honest about what you don’t need
One property is free in KeepUp — full capture, vault and reminders. You need compliance, not enterprise software.
Free, before you sign up for anything
Common questions
- Do the rules really apply to just one flat?
- Yes — every duty (gas safety, electrical standards, deposit protection, the coming database registration) applies from the first property. The law makes no distinction for how you became a landlord.
- My letting agent manages it — do I still need this?
- Agents manage tenancies; the legal responsibility and the fines stay with you, and agents change. Holding your own record of every certificate costs nothing and survives every handover.
- Is one property really free? What’s the catch?
- Really free: capture, vault, reminders, one property, no card. The paid plan exists for portfolios — and everything you store is exportable any time, so there’s no lock-in if you leave.
