Compliance Mistakes That Cost Landlords
An expired EICR, wrong landlord name on the AST, or an unprotected deposit can invalidate a claim before it starts. TLA flags these before they become expensive.
Updated 8 January 2026
Compliance is not a one-off checkbox at tenancy start. Certificates expire, landlords change, and deposit schemes need renewal evidence. Small admin failures compound into five-figure losses when combined with court delays.
Top mistakes
Expired EICR or GSC, EPC below minimum standard, deposit protected late or not at all, AST with outdated landlord entity, and certificates addressed to a previous owner.
Fix before arrears
TLA Vault validates address matches, expiry dates, and document presence — then rolls everything into a compliance score. Fix amber and red items while the tenancy is performing, not when court dates are looming.
