In the Cambridge rental market, compliance isn’t the enemy of profit—it’s how you protect it long-term. Avoiding fines, disputes, and vacancies starts with doing things right from the start. Here’s how to make sure your property letting in Cambridge delivers both strong returns and full legal peace of mind.
Know the Legal Requirements
Every landlord must meet a set of non-negotiable standards:
A valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) (E rating or better)
Annual Gas Safety Certificate
Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) every five years
Smoke and CO alarms installed and working
Tenancy deposit protection within 30 days
Right-to-Rent checks carried out before move-in
HMO licensing (if applicable) and awareness of Article 4 areas
Cambridge Stays ensures nothing slips through the cracks.
Avoid Costly Mistakes
Non-compliance doesn’t just risk fines—it affects profitability:
Unregistered deposits can lead to tenant claims and court action
Missing certificates can void insurance or lead to enforcement notices
Inadequate documentation creates delays, disputes, and reputation damage
We protect your property, your tenants—and your profits.
Smart Investment in Upgrades That Boost Rent
Compliance can go hand in hand with performance:
Improving your EPC rating can reduce tenant bills and justify higher rent
Adding fast broadband or creating a home office nook appeals to hybrid workers
Upgrading insulation or heating attracts quality tenants and saves on maintenance
Cambridge Stays advises on smart, yield-boosting upgrades.
Maximise Occupancy Without Cutting Corners
Profit isn’t just about price—it’s about consistency:
Responsible pricing keeps good tenants longer
Marketing to the right tenant type means fewer issues
Offering seasonal or flexible lets fills gaps while staying compliant
We align your income goals with a legal-first strategy that doesn’t compromise on quality.
