    You need to be completing a self assessmnt tax return annually.



    I must admit that I have been oblivious to the requirements a landlord must perform - renewal of gas certificate, etc.
    Ouch! Read my links above.


    This is London - I am registered as a Landlord.
    Seems strange that you knew enough to register, but then did not check what else you needed to do.... Most London council websites provide a lot of information alongside their registration pages.

    Written Statement of Terms of Occupancy
    Gas Safety Certificate
    Fire Alarm / Emergency Lighting Test Certificate
    Property Inspection Records
    Tenancy Deposit Scheme Paperwork
    Tenancy Management Arrangments
    Electrical Appliance Test Certificate
    Energy Performance Certificate
    Pest Control Treatment Records
    Copies of References for Occupants
    Name and Details of Occupant
    Pest control? I am guessing this is only required if there's been a pest problem highlighted- but check the relevant council website....

    P45? Are you renting out via. a Ltd company that employs you? P45 not normally the way to report property income (or, rather perhaps more profitably, expenses... which reduce your tax costs....)


    Those things you have been oblivious to may well mean you are unable to evict..

    What the world needs now is [STRIKE]love, sweet love[/STRIKE] a patron saint of tenants of "oblivious" LLs. Gods help them.

    A P45, fgs! Oblivious is not the word. Terminated employees receive a P45; it is not a tax return.
