Private landlords face a growing stack of legal obligations. The paperwork is exact, the deadlines are unforgiving, and the penalties are real.
The Renters' Rights Act changed what notices are valid and when. MTD for Income Tax is approaching. Gas Safety Records must be served annually, and EICR reports expire on a fixed schedule. Miss one, and a Section 21 becomes unenforceable — or worse.
Most landlords manage this with a spreadsheet and hope. Notica replaces both: it holds your property and tenancy data, generates the correct document for the situation, and tracks every expiry date against today's date.

02 — Track
Every certificate, every property, at a glance

Every document, organised by property, with an audit trail
Every notice and certificate Notica generates is stored permanently in your Document Library, organised by property and dated. If a dispute arises, you can show exactly what was produced, when, and for whom.
- Permanent, timestamped records of every document
- Filter by property, document type, or date
- PDF download at any time
- Audit trail for landlord licensing inspections
Set it up once. Notica handles the rest.
Most landlords spend hours each year tracking down what documents are current and which need renewing. Notica compresses that into a 15-minute setup, then works continuously in the background.
The law does not care whether the oversight was accidental. Notica makes sure it is not.
Add your properties
Enter each property's address, tenure type, and the name of your current tenant. Notica holds this as the permanent record that all documents draw from — no re-keying each time.
Upload your existing certificates
Tell Notica the issue dates for your existing Gas Safety Records, EICR, and EPC. It calculates the renewal date for each and begins tracking immediately. You do not need to upload the documents themselves.
Generate a document
Select the notice or certificate type you need. Notica pre-fills it with your property and tenant data, applies the correct notice period, and produces a dated, ready-to-serve PDF. Section 21, Section 8, gas safety reminder — all generated the same way.
Serve, file, and move on
Download the document and serve it as required. Notica stores a timestamped copy in your Document Library automatically — it is already archived before you have closed the screen.
Notica watches the calendar for you
Your Compliance Dashboard updates daily. When a certificate is approaching expiry, Notica alerts you by email with enough time to arrange renewal — not the day before. Nothing expires quietly.

Common questions
What counts as a property?
Each residential letting unit you hold. A house in multiple occupation (HMO) counts as one property, as does each flat in a block you let separately.
Does Notica give legal advice?
No. Notica generates documents from legally current templates and tracks your compliance deadlines. For complex tenancy disputes or unusual circumstances, you should consult a solicitor.
What happens when legislation changes?
Notica updates its templates when UK housing legislation changes — including post-Renters' Rights Act requirements. You do not need to monitor changes yourself.
Is my data secure?
Your property and tenant data is stored encrypted and is never shared with third parties. You can export or delete your data at any time.
Can I try Notica before subscribing?
Create an account and explore your compliance dashboard. Or pay £5 for a single document — no subscription required.
