Tenancy deposit protection provider mydeposits has launched an educational collaboration with property repairs and compliance platform Fiixit. The initiative is designed to support landlords as they prepare for significant changes in the private rented sector.
The timing coincides with the forthcoming Renters’ Rights Bill, which is set to introduce wide-ranging reforms. These include the abolition of fixed-term tenancies, stricter health and safety requirements, and new obligations around repairs and documentation.
As part of the partnership, landlords who are new to Fiixit can access an exclusive three-month free trial of the software. The platform aims to streamline property repairs and compliance processes, while also helping to build stronger landlord–tenant relationships.
“With the upcoming rental reforms, landlords are facing increased pressure to document and respond to repairs quickly and transparently,” said Eddie Hooker, CEO of mydeposits (pictured). “Our collaboration with Fiixit provides practical tools to support this transition, protecting both landlords and tenants in the process.”
A recent webinar highlighted that poor documentation and reactive repairs are among the most common causes of disputes and penalties. The new regulations will introduce:
Stricter timeframes for dealing with serious health hazards
The Decent Homes Standard across all rented properties
A national landlord ombudsman for tenant complaints
Platforms such as Fiixit are designed to help landlords avoid these risks by:
Logging repair issues with time-stamped audit trails
Managing communications between landlords, tenants, and tradespeople in one place
Automating reminders for compliance deadlines, including gas and electrical safety checks
“It’s not just about fixing a leak. It’s about showing that you fixed it, when you fixed it, and how you communicated it. That is what protects landlords in a dispute and keeps tenants on your side,” said Taj Sohal, co-founder of Fiixit.
Alongside the software offer, mydeposits and Fiixit are working together on an aligned educational initiative. Both organisations said the aim is to provide landlords with practical guidance and tools to adapt to upcoming reforms, underlining their commitment to supporting the sector.
