Key Rules Landlords Must Follow

Use the official version only

Send it as an attachment

Simply sending a link is not compliant.
Send it to every tenant

Letting agents are responsible (if applicable)
If your property is managed by an agent, they are responsible for sending the document, even if you also send it.
Lodgers are exempt

How to Stay Compliant
