Your rental homes, run in one place. The law built in.

Landlords running their own homes, from one to twenty, alone or with the people who help them: a partner, someone who manages for you, your accountant. It is not built for letting agents: it holds no client money and has no client-landlord accounts.

It keeps the whole of running your homes in one place: the homes and their tenancies, rent and who is behind, repairs from the tenant's report to the contractor's answer, your contractors, certificates and documents, mortgages and insurance, rent reviews, and the legal dates we track. An emergency, a report a tenant emails in, and a reply or a contractor's answer on an urgent job are emailed to you as they arrive. The rest comes in a few short emails, each when it matters. A gas or electrical safety check that runs out where somebody lives, or insurance that lapses, comes the morning it happens and every week until it is sorted. Before each renewal there is a heads-up, months ahead for a certificate, a licence or a mortgage deal and a month ahead for insurance, then a last nudge a week before. On the first Monday of every month a short round-up comes, even when all is clear. A tenant's routine report, or a reply on your other jobs, comes in one short email the next morning. You can have Recommended, Weekly (a short list on Mondays too) or Only urgent. The first kind, a safety check that runs out where somebody lives or insurance that lapses, is always sent. So is a gas or electrical safety check that runs out at a home that may be lived in, on the day and two weeks later.

No. Nobody but you and your team signs in. Tenants report a problem, with photos, on your own page and get a reference by email. A contractor says yes or no to a job with one tap from the email. Replies by email land on the job they are about.

Yes. You get your own page at yourname.datestone.io. Settings gives you a line of code to put the report form, your homes to let and a "Report a problem" button on your own website. Emails to tenants and contractors go out in your business's name, and their replies come back into Datestone.

Yes. Add each home in a couple of minutes, then paste your tenants and contractors, and your rent history, straight from a spreadsheet. Everything stays yours: Settings downloads the lot as spreadsheets whenever you like.

No. Datestone doesn't keep your accounts or send anything to HMRC. It works alongside your Making Tax Digital software: Settings downloads the rent you record, every month due and every payment, as spreadsheets (CSV files) to take across.

Yes, cancel whenever: in Settings, on Plan and billing, "Change or cancel, invoices, card" opens Stripe, where you cancel. Free runs one home for as long as you like. Your first paid plan starts with a 30-day free trial.

Only the people you invite, each with the access you choose. Photos and certificates are stored privately and open only through short-lived links. A tenant sees their own report and reference, and a contractor's link shows only the job they were offered.

No. Datestone is a tool for running your rental homes. It lists the legal duties that appear to apply to each home from what you have told it, reminds you before deadlines, and links every rule to its official source. For advice on your situation, speak to a solicitor or your landlord association.

From a maintained set of rules covering England: gas, electrical, EPC, alarms, deposits, right to rent, houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and council licensing, and the Renters' Rights Act. Every rule cites its legislation or official guidance. We watch the official sources, legislation.gov.uk and GOV.UK guidance, and every night check that each link we cite still leads where it did, council licensing pages included. A changed source is matched word for word against the official text and confirmed by a second, independent AI check before a rule updates.

That we ask instead of guessing. Whether some duties apply turns on a fact only you have, like whether the home has gas or whether a deposit was taken, so your checklist asks, and one answer settles it. A duty that applies but has no date yet reads “Needed”, and licensing that only the council can confirm reads “Ask the council”. We never mark something safe by assumption.

Not yet. England only for now, but the rules are structured so Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland can each be added as their own set later.

For a one-off answer, absolutely, and you should. We're not selling you information; we're selling you the other 364 days. A spreadsheet doesn't take the tenant's report at eleven at night, chase the contractor who never answered, or notice the rent that didn't arrive. An AI answers when you ask. It doesn't know your EICR lapses in March, and a chat transcript won't satisfy a lender or a council officer. We use AI too, to watch official sources and to check each rule against its legal source, word for word, with every check logged. The question isn't whether you could keep track of all this yourself. It's whether you will, every month, for good.
