The compliance a commercial let carries, and the residential duties that sit with the occupier.
This article lists the safety and legal duties Abodient tracks for a business property, and the ones it leaves to your occupier. A commercial property carries a different set from a home, so you will not see gas safety certificates or smoke alarm tests here.
Open the property's Compliance tab. It lists only your duties. Abodient chose them from the answers you gave when you added the property.
The duties a business let can carry:
Upload a certificate in the box at the top and Abodient reads it and starts tracking its expiry. If you left the lift question unanswered, a Yes or No box above the list asks it.
The occupier's own duties under the lease, such as the fire risk assessment, the electrical inspection and the legionella assessment, are theirs, so they are not tracked here. Check the lease: under some leases a duty such as asbestos is shared.
Home-only duties do not apply to a shop either. Press Where these rules come from at the right of the filters to see each duty, the law behind it and the date Abodient last checked the link.
