UK landlord obligations

The statutory duties we hold and how we evidence each one.

None of this is unique to RPR. What we promise is that every row is held current per property and produced on request.

Duty How we evidence it Cadence
Gas safety Annual inspection by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) held on file and reissued each year. Tenant copy provided where applicable. Annual
Electrical (EICR) Electrical Installation Condition Report carried out by a qualified electrician. Any C1/C2 remediation tracked through to a fresh report. Every 5 years
Energy Performance (EPC) Valid EPC held per property. Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (currently Band E for domestic property let in England and Wales) maintained. On let, 10-year validity
Fire risk assessment A suitable and sufficient FRA produced by a competent assessor for the building in use as a supported-living setting, reviewed at least annually and after any material change. Annual review
PAT testing Portable Appliance Testing on all RPR-supplied appliances in shared areas. Register held per property; items removed from service on failure. Annual
Legionella risk assessment Water systems assessed against HSG274. Control measures recorded; flushing regime for low-use outlets documented. On let / every 2 years
Smoke & CO alarms Compliant with the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2022. Detector positioning recorded on the FRA. Tested at start of tenancy, then ongoing
“How to Rent” guide Where a tenancy with an individual occupant arises, the current Government "How to Rent" guide is issued at the start, with re-issue when a new version is published. Most of our homes operate outside an individual-tenancy framework, with the housing-and-care arrangement set out separately. Where it applies
Deposit protection Where an arrangement involves a tenant deposit (rare in our model), the deposit is registered with an approved scheme inside 30 days and the prescribed information served. Where it applies
Right to Rent Right to Rent checks completed before occupation begins where the duty applies. Evidence retained securely for the period required by law and disposed of in line with our data-retention schedule. Pre-let, retained

Policies and posture

Beyond the certificate list.

The certificates above are necessary but not sufficient. The policies below are what we work to alongside them.

Supported living

Supported living standards.

We apply the principles set out by the Department of Health & Social Care for supported living at the housing layer of the model: a real home, a proper tenancy or occupancy arrangement, and choice and control retained by the resident. The regulated care delivered in the home is the care provider's remit; we never substitute for it.

Reference: DHSC supported-living principles.
Safeguarding (housing role)

A clear duty, kept in its lane.

A housing-side safeguarding policy is in place, with named leads on the RPR team and clear escalation routes to the care provider and the relevant Local Authority safeguarding team.

Our staff are trained to recognise safeguarding concerns from the housing role (e.g. a property condition issue that puts a resident at risk) and to escalate immediately. We never substitute for the care provider's safeguarding duty for the people living in the home.

Aligned to the Care Act 2014, statutory guidance.
Data protection

Minimum data, lawfully held.

Registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. We hold the minimum personal data needed to do our job, retain it only for as long as we need it, and dispose of it securely.

A Data Sharing Agreement is in place with each care partner before any data crosses the boundary. Personal data is never shared with third parties without a lawful basis. Breaches reportable to the ICO are reported inside 72 hours per UK GDPR.

Insurance

Cover that meets the lease.

Public liability cover at a minimum of £5 million, and buildings cover as required by the freeholder's lease (or held by RPR where the lease requires it). Schedules renewed annually and available on request.

Certificates produced for the compliance pack.

Statements

Short, on the record.

Modern slavery.

RPR is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships, and to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in its operations and supply chain. We apply the standard for transparency in supply chains required by the Modern Slavery Act 2015, in proportion to the size of the business.

Equality.

RPR operates in line with the Equality Act 2010 in everything we do: how we let property, how we work with partners, and how we treat the people whose homes we manage. Reasonable adjustments to the physical property are considered as part of every placement.

Regulatory enquiries.

RPR is not a CQC-registered entity. Any regulatory enquiry about the care of a specific resident should go to the regulated care provider operating that home. Property-side regulatory enquiries (housing, fire safety, environmental health) come to RPR.

Document framework

The papers behind every home.

The list below is the governance framework that sits behind every property and every placement. We don’t publish the documents themselves; we share them on request with commissioners, care partners, and auditors. We hold a full, complete framework modelled for operations and partnerships, and we provide all supporting templates, layouts, processes and workflows to help your team deliver the best outcomes in care and support.

  • Master Index

    The single source of truth listing every governance document held per property, with its current version and review date.

  • Property Use & Access Agreement

    The agreement between RPR and the freeholder or landlord governing use of the property as a supported-living setting.

  • Service Level Agreement (SLA)

    The agreement between RPR (housing) and the care provider (care) governing the operational relationship.

  • Data Sharing Agreement

    The agreement governing what personal data crosses between RPR and the care provider, and on what basis.

  • Safeguarding Policy

    The RPR housing-side safeguarding policy, with named leads, escalation routes and training requirements.

  • Compliance Pack (per property)

    A single bundle of the live statutory certificates and policy references for each home, refreshed as items renew.

For auditors, commissioners & partners

Send us the home you’re asking about and what you need to see. We share the live compliance pack on a confidential basis.
