UK Tenancy Regulations & Compliance Advice
Listing accommodation on JobMelo connects property owners, HMO landlords, and room hosts directly with relocating professionals, international nurses, students, and local job seekers across the UK. To protect both landlords and tenants, please ensure your listing complies with UK residential tenancy regulations:
⚖️Tenant Fees Act 2019
Landlords in England cannot charge administration, viewing, inventory, or referencing fees to tenants. Only permitted payments (rent, refundable deposit, holding deposit) are legally allowed.
🛡️Tenancy Deposit Protection
Security deposits must be capped at 5 weeks' rent (for annual rents under £50,000) and registered with a government-backed tenancy deposit scheme (DPS, TDS, or MyDeposits) within 30 days.
📋Right to Rent Verification
Under UK immigration law, landlords or agents must check that all adult tenants have the legal right to reside in the UK before granting a residential tenancy agreement.
⚡Safety Certifications (Gas & EPC)
Rental properties in England must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of band E or higher and an annual Gas Safety Certificate issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Tips to Receive Faster Inquiries
- • State clearly whether bills (gas, electricity, water, council tax, Wi-Fi) are included in the advertised rent.
- • Highlight proximity to railway stations, London Underground lines, hospitals, or major business parks.
- • Specify tenant preferences upfront (e.g. single working professional, couple, students welcome).
