NSW landlord compliance · for self-managing landlords · A$79/yr AUD, GST incl. · general information, not legal advice
NSW doesn't send reminders.
LandlordLedger is a compliance calendar for NSW residential landlords. It tracks the dates self-managers keep missing, smoke-alarm checks, water-efficiency rules and pool certificate renewals, across up to 5 properties, and emails you at 90, 30 and 7 days out. One plan: A$79 per year, AUD, GST incl. It is general information, never personal advice, and it will never act for you.
How it works
Three steps, then the ledger does the remembering.
- STEP 01
Enter your dates
Tenancy start, last smoke-alarm check, last water-efficiency check, pool certificate expiry. The demo below runs the same maths live.
- STEP 02
Your rail is built
Every obligation lands on a 12-month rail per property, so the dates stop hiding between the months.
- STEP 03
The nudges arrive
Email reminders at 90, 30 and 7 days before each due date. After the date passes, your ledger records what was done and when.
The thing itself · staged demo
Try the ledger. Enter three dates and watch your deadlines recompute.
This is the real maths the paid ledger runs, on simplified annual demo cadences. Free to use, no card, nothing collected.

A year of deadlines, on one rail
Every obligation, placed on the calendar where it belongs.
Compliance dates cluster around tenancy starts, anniversaries and certificate expiries. The rail lays your whole year out so nothing hides between the months. It rebuilds from your three dates above.
Rule summaries are general information only, as at September 2026. They are not legal advice.
How the reminders work
Three nudges. Zero "oh no" moments.
One reminder is easy to miss. LandlordLedger escalates: plan, act, then the final call, for every date on your rail. Below, the schedule anchored to your nearest upcoming deadline.
ANCHORED TO: awaiting dates
90days out
Plan it
…
The date lands on your radar with what it involves and what you'll need: quotes, certificates, access arrangements.
30days out
Book it
…
Time to act. The reminder names the deadline plainly and what's at stake if it slides.
7days out
Final call
…
The last nudge before the date falls due. After the date passes, your ledger records what was done and when.
What's at stake: miss the date and the ledger shows a gap. In a dispute, a gap is the story.
Also included: a document vault for certificates and reports, and one-click PDF export of your compliance record.
What it covers

Residential tenancies (NSW) only. Not commercial leases, not holiday lets. Rule summaries as at September 2026, general information only.
What this is, and what it is not
Stated plainly, not buried.
What LandlordLedger is
- A date tracker for NSW residential landlord compliance, with rule summaries dated as at September 2026.
- Email reminders at 90, 30 and 7 days before each due date, for up to 5 properties.
- A paper trail: a document vault for certificates and reports, plus one-click PDF export of your compliance record.
- General information. It tells you when things fall due, not what to do about them.
What it is not
- Not legal advice. It will never tell you what your obligations mean in your situation. Disputes go to NSW Fair Trading, a solicitor, or NCAT.
- Not a property manager. It will not book contractors, arrange access, or chase anyone.
- Not an agent substitute. If you use a managing agent, this is only an independent backstop, your own copy of the record.
- Not for commercial leases or holiday lets. NSW residential tenancies only.
Free help

The honest comparison: a managing agent costs roughly A$1,500+ per property per year; the free path is a spreadsheet plus Fair Trading checklists. LandlordLedger sits in the middle, for the day the spreadsheet stops getting opened.

Questions
Straight answers.
Q1I use a managing agent. Is this for me?
It's built for self-managing landlords, but it works as an independent backstop if you want your own record of what's been done and when. Agents change; your ledger doesn't.
Q2Is this legal advice?
No. LandlordLedger is a general-information date tracker. It never gives personal advice, and it will never act for you. Disputes or legal questions go to NSW Fair Trading, a solicitor, or NCAT.
Q3How many properties does A$79 cover?
Up to 5 properties on the annual plan, each with its own rail, reminders and document vault.
Q4Will reminders come by SMS?
Planned, not promised at launch. The launch plan covers email reminders at 90, 30 and 7 days; SMS would follow if the research supports it.
Q5What if I buy and it isn't useful?
Every launch purchase carries the 14-day money-back guarantee above: email within 14 days for a full refund, processed within 5 business days. No questions, no forms.
Q6Why not just use a spreadsheet and the Fair Trading checklists?
You can, and for one property with a diligent owner it works. LandlordLedger exists for the moment the spreadsheet stops getting opened. You're paying for the chasing, 90, 30 and 7 days out, every date, every property, without having to remember the system exists.
