Proactive Compliance Monitoring

At togetha, we understand the complexities of property legislation and the challenges that come with staying informed. We're landlords ourselves. That’s why we’ve built a platform that continuously monitors updates to government policies and regulations. Whether it’s new housing standards, tenant rights, or safety requirements, togetha ensures that landlords and property managers are always aware of what’s required to remain compliant, and we continuously develop features in the togetha platform to help maintain and monitor compliance, stress-free.

We do the heavy lifting with our proactive approach to legislation change planning, so landlords and property managers can focus on what they do best – managing properties and delivering an excellent tenant experience.

Meeting the Standards of the Renters’ Rights Bill and Awaab’s Law

The upcoming changes to legislation are the perfect example to show how togetha helps landlords stay compliant, in our response to the Renters’ Rights Bill, which introduces Awaab’s Law.

Named after Awaab Ishak, a young boy who tragically passed away due to exposure to unsafe housing conditions, this law mandates strict timelines for landlords to respond to and address maintenance issues.

Under Awaab’s Law, landlords must act within specific timeframes to resolve hazards like damp and mold, ensuring tenant safety and well-being. togetha has already developed features that align with these requirements, empowering landlords to meet these compliance standards seamlessly.

Here’s how:

Full Audit Trail of Maintenance Requests

togetha’s platform records every maintenance request and action taken, providing a comprehensive and transparent audit trail. This ensures that landlords and property managers can demonstrate compliance with timelines and document their efforts to resolve issues.

Automated Reminders and Notifications

To help landlords stay on track, togetha automates reminders for maintenance tasks and follow-ups. These notifications ensure that critical deadlines mandated by Awaab’s Law are never missed, protecting both tenants and landlords from unnecessary risks.

Streamlined Communication

togetha simplifies communication between landlords, property managers, and tenants. Tenants can easily report issues through the platform, and landlords can respond promptly, creating a seamless workflow that prioritises tenant safety and satisfaction.

Enhancing the Tenant Experience

A proactive approach to monitoring and updating togetha’s features for any legislative changes enhances the tenant experience whilst reducing the risk to the landlord. For example, with Awaab’s Law, by addressing maintenance requests swiftly and ensuring that properties meet the legally required standards, landlords can build trust and long-lasting relationships with their tenants, which in the new world of rolling monthly rental contracts, is something that will help provide some security for both parties.

togetha’s tools not only help you stay compliant but also create a more responsive and proactive property management style that tenants will appreciate.
