The rules are public. Finding them shouldn’t be a job.
Stivora gathers every rule that governs a let into one place and rewrites it as instructions: what to do, by when, for your property. Built for landlords who are also their own compliance department.
See how it works What it covers
1–5 properties Small portfolios England & Wales
Eleven sources, one property
Government guidance, council licensing pages, certification schemes, legislation that changes mid-tenancy. Nothing is hidden — it is just scattered, inconsistent, and written for lawyers. Most landlords find the answer only after something has gone wrong.
One place
Every source that governs a let, gathered and kept current. Close the other ten tabs.
Plain English
Legislation turned into instructions — the action, the deadline, the evidence to keep. Every answer cites its source.
Per property
Narrowed by address, tenancy and building type. Not a generic checklist you still have to interpret.
Add the property
Address, tenancy type, how many storeys, whether it is shared. Under a minute.
Get your register
The rules that actually apply to it — national, local and scheme-specific — on one sheet.
Work the list
Each item says what to do, by when, and what to keep. Mark it done, store the certificate.
Stay ahead of it
When a rule changes or a certificate nears expiry, you hear it from us first — not from an inspector.

Guidance, not legal advice. Requirements vary by property, tenancy type and local authority — Stivora tells you which version applies to yours.
