- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) — Every rental property — currently rated E or above to be let legally.
- Tenancy deposit protection — Any deposit taken — must be protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days.

- PRS Landlord Database registration — Phasing in nationally 2026–2028 under the Renters' Rights Act — a new, separate requirement from council licensing.
