For Airbnb & short-term let hosts

Airbnb & Short-Term Let Compliance Software

Keep every let legal without living in a spreadsheet — fire risk assessment, gas, EICR, EPC, alarms and licensing all tracked, with reminders, a live compliance score per property, and a full audit trail if a guest, insurer or council ever asks.

One place for every short-term let obligation

A short-term let carries the same safety duties as any let property, plus its own fire risk assessment and, increasingly, a local licence or registration. Complys brings them together so you can see, in one view, exactly which properties are compliant and which need action today.

Airbnb compliance — FAQs

What does Airbnb compliance software do?

It keeps every legal obligation for a short-term let in one place — the fire risk assessment, gas safety, EICR, EPC, smoke and CO alarms, and any local licence or registration — tracks every expiry, and prompts action before anything lapses. Complys adds a live compliance score per property so you always know where each let stands.

Do I legally need a fire risk assessment for my Airbnb?

Yes. Because guests pay to sleep there, a short-term let is covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes you the 'responsible person' and requires a fire risk assessment. Complys can build one for the property and keep it under review. See our guide to Airbnb fire risk assessments for the detail.

Which certificates does an Airbnb need?

It depends on the property, but typically: a gas safety certificate where there are gas appliances, an EICR for the electrical installation, working smoke and CO alarms, and often an EPC. Your fire risk assessment sets the fire-safety measures. Complys tracks each one and reminds you before it expires.

Do I need a licence to run an Airbnb in the UK?

It depends where the property is. Scotland requires a short-term let licence for every let. England is introducing a registration scheme and a new planning use class. Wales has its own registration and licensing rules. Complys records the licence or registration alongside the safety documents so nothing is missed.

Does it work for holiday lets and serviced accommodation?

Yes. The same obligations apply whether you call it an Airbnb, a holiday let or serviced accommodation, and Complys handles a single property or a whole portfolio with a compliance score for each.
