The 24/7letting agentin your pocket.

Proper finds your tenants, collects the rent, sorts the repairs and keeps you on the right side of the rules — everything a good letting agent does, from an app on your phone.

Made in Belfast, for Northern Ireland landlords

Illustration of the Proper app: a tenant, Aoife, reports a boiler fault at 09:12. Proper replies to her, books a Gas Safe engineer for the next morning within the landlord's £150 repair limit, arranges the annual gas safety check at the same visit, and shows that September's rent of £950 arrived on time.

The rules changed. Did anyone tell you?

Northern Ireland has changed its letting rules every year since 2022. Our free report checks your property against all of them in two minutes, and tells you what's in order, what's worth a look and what to do next.

  1. 2022

    Late deposit protection became a continuing offence

    Protected in an approved scheme within 28 days, with the prescribed information to the tenant within 35.

    If you miss it: Up to three times the deposit, with no time limit on prosecution.

  2. April 2023

    The Tenancy Information Notice

    Every new tenancy needs the prescribed notice within 28 days. A written agreement doesn't replace it.

    If you miss it: Up to £2,500 on conviction.

  3. September 2024

    Interlinked smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms

    Smoke alarms in the living room and every hall and landing, a heat alarm in the kitchen, a CO alarm by every boiler and stove, all linked together.

    If you miss it: A fixed penalty or a fine on conviction.

  4. April 2025

    An electrical inspection every five years

    An EICR by a qualified electrician, with any urgent faults fixed within 28 days. Existing tenancies had until December 2025.

    If you miss it: Up to £5,000.

  5. April 2025

    Three months' notice for a rent increase

    In writing, on the notice of variation, and no more than once in any 12 months.

    If you miss it: An increase without proper notice isn't payable.

Plus the ones that quietly expire: a Gas Safety Record every 12 months, landlord registration every three years and an EPC every ten.
