Full rent coverage until vacant possession
With Section 21 being abolished and longer evictions, landlords face higher financial risk. Our Rent Protection and Legal Expenses Insurance covers up to £100,000 in rent and legal costs until vacant possession, now including Section 13 notices and the first month’s rent.
Simplified Section 13 notices
Under the Renters' Rights Act, rent can only be raised once a year via a Section 13 notice. Goodlord alerts you when it’s time, auto-fills Form 4, and helps you charge landlords for the service.
Contract changes from ASTs to periodic
Goodlord automates contract updates, ensuring compliance from day one. Regardless of when you sign them or how long they have left to run, all ASTs will convert to periodic tenancies.
New product: Goodlord Guarantor
Give tenants without a suitable guarantor an easy way to secure their tenancy, and give landlords peace of mind. Goodlord acts as a professional guarantor, covering unpaid rent for up to 12 months and helping agents let properties faster and more securely.
New product: Goodlord's Landlord Hub
A secure online space for landlords to access property info, track legislative updates, and stay confident. Integrated into the tenancy flow to improve communication, cut admin, and enhance professionalism.
New simplified tenant payment flow
Goodlord’s tenant payment flow securely and compliantly collects rent and deposits. Clear tenant guidance and automated reminders reduce agent admin and ensure timely payments.
