Landlord Reminders for Rent, Compliance and Certificates

August is free for landlords managing up to 2 tenancies, including access to reminders for compliance certificates and rent. Paid plans cover larger portfolios and unlock additional features. There is no time limit on the free plan and no credit card required to get started.

Yes. August tracks compliance at tenancy level, so each property in your portfolio has its own set of reminders regardless of how many tenants or rooms it has. For HMOs, where compliance obligations are more complex, HMO licence renewal, additional safety checks, and room-level tenancy management, August keeps every deadline visible in one place so nothing across your portfolio slips through.

August can send reminders at multiple points before each deadline, not just once. You have full control over how many reminders you want to receive. For compliance certificates, you get notified well enough in advance to book the relevant engineer or contractor without rushing. For rent, alerts trigger on the due date and escalate through day 1, day 3, day 7, and day 14 if a payment remains outstanding. The timing is designed around UK landlord workflows, not a generic global template.

Yes. As well as the automatic reminders August creates from uploaded documents, you can create your own custom reminders for anything relevant to your properties. Boiler servicing, insurance renewals, inspection dates, mortgage review dates, or any other deadline you want to track. Custom reminders can be set as one-off or recurring and are tied to a specific property so your portfolio stays organised.

Yes. When rent is due, August sends your tenants an automatic reminder through the app, so you don't have to chase manually. Tenants are notified before the due date, on the day, and again if rent goes unpaid. This significantly reduces late payments without any awkward phone calls or messages from you. Tenants also receive relevant document notifications when you share certificates or agreements with them.

A missed gas safety certificate means you cannot legally serve a valid Section 21 eviction notice and could face a fine of up to £6,000 under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. August sends reminders for your gas safety certificate well before the annual renewal date, giving you time to book a Gas Safe registered engineer. The reminder appears in the app and is sent as a push notification and email so nothing gets missed.

When you upload a certificate or compliance document, gas safety, EICR, EPC, or insurance, August Intelligence reads the expiry date from the document automatically. No manual data entry required. A reminder is created immediately based on that date, timed to alert you well before the deadline. For rent reminders, August connects to your bank via Open Banking, tracks incoming payments in real time, and triggers alerts when rent is due, late, or partially paid.

August sends reminders for gas safety certificates, EICR electrical safety reports, EPC renewals, deposit protection deadlines, HMO licence renewals, tenancy end dates, rent due dates, and rent arrears. Reminders can be sent at multiple points before each deadline, not just once, so you have enough time to act. You can also create custom reminders for anything else relevant to your portfolio, such as insurance renewals or inspection dates.
