Datestone.

For landlords who use an agent to find tenants

Your agent found the tenant. The legal dates are still yours.

The gas safety check, the electrical report and the new register stay your legal duties after move-in. An agent can do the work for you. Datestone keeps their dates in one place and reminds you before each date.

Who does what after move-in

Your agent (tenant-find)

You, from then on

Your agreement decides who does the work; the gas, electrical and register duties stay with you.

What Datestone does for you

  • Gas and electrical reminders

    Each certificate's date, and an email before it runs out.

  • Rent increases, worked out

    Section 13 with the earliest valid date, and Form 4A filled in.

  • Repairs that close

    The tenant reports it on your page; a contractor you offer it to opens the email's link and presses Yes or No.

  • Rent and arrears

    What came in, what's owed, month by month.

  • The register, by region

    Your home's date to register, from 15 December 2026 in the West Midlands, then region by region.

    The dates come from regulations that are still a draft, not yet made, so they could still move.

Questions

If my agent found the tenant, who does the gas safety check?

The duty is yours. The check itself is done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If your agreement gives the agent the job of arranging it, HSE says the agent has the same duties too, and strongly advises you to ask to see copies of the safety check.

The gas safety guide

Do I still need Datestone if my agent sends me reminders?

Your agent's reminders cover what your agreement asks of them. Datestone keeps the dates it tracks for the home in one place, whoever does the work, each with its official source, and emails you before each one.

Can I give my agent access?

Yes. Invite them to run things day to day, or as someone who can see everything and change nothing.

Does it cost more for more homes?

One home is free. Up to 5 homes is £4.99 a month, up to 20 homes is £14.99 a month, inc VAT. Your first paid plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
