Which landlord certificates should you track?
The exact answer depends on the property and jurisdiction. A sensible compliance file commonly includes gas-safety evidence where gas is present, an EPC, the applicable electrical-safety report, and any landlord, HMO or local licence. The important distinction is between a record being useful and it being a universal statutory certificate: RentSure avoids labelling every document as legally mandatory.

Frequently asked questions
How long does an EPC last?
An Energy Performance Certificate is generally valid for 10 years, although a landlord must also check the current minimum energy-efficiency requirements before letting.
Is every landlord document a statutory certificate?
No. RentSure separates core legal/safety records from optional records. Insurance, inventories, PAT records and legionella records can be important without all being universal statutory certificates.
