Landlord Compliance Audit
A complete property-by-property review of your documentation, rent handling, tenant management, and notice practices — with a checklist of what to fix.
Why You Need This Service
If a tenant lodges a complaint with the Rent Control Department, your documentation becomes evidence. Many landlords lose cases not because the law is against them, but because their records are weak, incomplete, or missing.
This audit checks:
- Do you have signed leases for all tenants?
- Are rent receipts issued every payment?
- Is your rent advance handling compliant with Act 220?
- Are notices served correctly and documented?
- Is tenant information organized and traceable?
- Do you have evidence of maintenance and repair requests?
- Are your communication records organized chronologically?
This is insurance. If you ever need to defend a position in Rent Court, a clean compliance record means you win.
