A tenancy audit is a deep-dive check of your legal documents, property records, and compliance history. It’s not just for big landlords; it’s for any landlord who wants to avoid risk, reduce admin, and sleep better at night.
Athelstans carries out tenancy audits for landlords across Cornwall and West Devon. Whether you manage a single flat or a whole portfolio, we’ll help you spot what’s missing, what’s outdated, and what needs fixing before it becomes a problem.
Our tenancy audit reviews the key documents and legal steps every landlord must get right. We’ll help you review what’s in place and highlight anything that appears to be missing, outdated, or incorrect.
We look at:
Tenant ID and Right to Rent records
Tenancy agreement
Checking names, clauses, and the legal service address
Prescribed information and deposit protection records
Safety certificates
Confirming the relevant documentation appears to be in place, valid, and served to the tenant
Section 48 / Section 3 address requirements
Rent review eligibility
Including timing and format of any Section 13 notices
Maintenance and inspection arrangements
Reviewing what’s currently in place and whether any changes may be advisable
This is a paperwork-focused review, designed to help landlords understand the current position of their tenancy documentation.
Small paperwork mistakes can cause major problems. From failed evictions to invalid rent increases, outdated or missing documents can derail even the best landlord–tenant relationship.
A tenancy audit can help you:
• Avoid costly delays or legal disputes
• Identify potential issues before they escalate
• Keep up with changing regulations (including the Renters’ Reform changes)
• Strengthen your paperwork if you ever need to serve notice or enforce terms
For self-managing landlords, it’s a useful one-off health check. For managed clients, it forms part of our ongoing tenancy administration.
Our tenancy audit service is available across Launceston, Exeter, and West Cornwall. We’ll walk through your documents with you, highlight anything that may need attention, and explain the next steps.
If you're tired of chasing checklists and changing rules, we can help you bring everything into order.
