3. Information Quality, Platform Risks, and User Responsibility
3.1 Nature of the Letlaunch Platform
Letlaunch provides a digital environment that enables landlords and prospective tenants to connect, advertise properties, and carry out various stages of the letting process. The Platform is designed to streamline communication and reduce administrative burden, but Letlaunch does not control, verify, or guarantee the information supplied by users.
All property descriptions, photographs, claims, statements, and communications are the sole responsibility of the user who uploads or shares them.
3.2 No Guarantee of Accuracy
While Letlaunch takes reasonable steps to maintain a trustworthy environment, you acknowledge that:
- Listings and user profiles may contain inaccuracies, errors, omissions, or outdated information.
- Letlaunch does not verify ownership, property condition, or any legal compliance by any user.
- The Platform’s tools, recommendations, or automated features do not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice.
You must independently verify all details and satisfy yourself as to the accuracy of any information before entering into any agreement or making payments.
3.3 Content for Information Purposes Only
Any material provided on the Letlaunch website, including guides, blog articles, help content, or communication from Letlaunch support, is intended purely for general information and should not be interpreted as legal advice, financial advice, or a substitute for independent professional consultation.
3.4 No Liability for User-Generated Issues
Letlaunch has no control over:
- The conduct of users;
- The condition or availability of any property;
- The outcome of tenancy arrangements;
- Events occurring at a listed property; or
- Disputes arising between landlords and tenants.
You agree that Letlaunch accepts no liability for any issues, losses, or disputes arising from user-supplied content, interactions between users, or any tenancy or property-related matters outside Letlaunch’s direct control.
3.5 Platform Interruptions and Technical Limitations
Although Letlaunch aims to provide uninterrupted access to the Platform, you acknowledge that:
- Access may be temporarily suspended or limited due to maintenance, updates, system failures, or events outside our control;
- Letlaunch is not liable for any loss arising from downtime, technical issues, delays, or errors in transmission.
4. Advertising Properties on Letlaunch
4.1 Eligibility to Advertise
You confirm you are the lawful landlord of the property, or you have been expressly authorised by the lawful landlord to list the property on their behalf. Letlaunch may request evidence of your authority to list the property at any time.
If you advertise without appropriate authority, you agree that you may be liable for any resulting loss or claims and that Letlaunch may take any measures it considers appropriate, including suspending your account or removing your listings.
4.2 Advertising Fees and Duration
Where an advertising package or additional service is offered for a fee:
- Fees apply per property listing unless otherwise stated;
- Services begin immediately upon order, meaning you acknowledge that the service is classed as digital content delivered without a cancellation period;
- Refunds are not available once delivery of the service has begun, except where Letlaunch chooses to offer one at its discretion; and
- Pre-paid or credit-based services (if offered) are non-transferable and may have expiry dates.
Listings remain active until the property is let, withdrawn by the landlord, or removed under Letlaunch’s fair-use or compliance policies.
4.3 Accuracy and Integrity of Advert Content
When publishing an advert, you agree that all information, including images, descriptions, rental terms, and availability, will be:
- Accurate, current, and not misleading;
- Representative of the property’s true condition; and
- Free from omissions that may reasonably confuse or mislead prospective tenants.
You must not:
- Create multiple listings for the same dwelling or room;
- Create “placeholder”, speculative, or non-genuine listings; or
- Reuse outdated photos or misleading angles that misrepresent size, condition, or furnishings.
Letlaunch accepts no responsibility for user-generated content and does not verify the accuracy of adverts.
4.4 Intellectual Property, Privacy, and Permissions
You confirm:
- You have full rights and lawful permission to use the materials you submit;
- No copyright, privacy, or data protection rules are breached;
- Any individuals identifiable in photographs or videos have consented to their appearance.
You grant Letlaunch a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to reproduce, edit, display, and distribute your property’s content as required to operate and promote.
Letlaunch may edit or remove content where necessary for legal compliance, user experience, or platform standards.
4.5 Non-Discrimination
You must ensure that no listing or communication posted through Letlaunch discriminates against individuals on the basis of protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
Letlaunch reserves the right to remove or amend any advert it reasonably believes may breach equality legislation.
4.6 Fair Use and Platform Integrity
To protect the quality of the Platform and ensure fairness for all users, Letlaunch may request proof of ownership, EPC documentation, licensing evidence, or other compliance records and may suspend or remove listings where such evidence is not provided.
You agree not to hold Letlaunch responsible for any loss arising from any action taken in line with these policies.
5. Tenant Referencing, Verification, and Third-Party Services
5.1 Referencing Services
Letlaunch offers landlords the option to request tenant referencing or verification checks through the Platform. These services are intended solely to assist landlords in making informed decisions and do not replace a landlord’s own due diligence.
You acknowledge that:
- Letlaunch cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information supplied during the referencing process.
- Any recommendations or outcomes produced by a referencing provider are advisory only and do not constitute approval, endorsement, or a suitability assessment by Letlaunch.
Letlaunch does accept liability for decisions you make based on referencing results or tenant-supplied materials.
5.2 Right to Rent and Statutory Checks
Regardless of any service provided through Letlaunch, landlords must personally comply with all UK Right to Rent obligations. Failure to complete these checks correctly is solely the responsibility of the landlord.
Letlaunch accepts no liability for fines, penalties, or losses arising from non-compliance with immigration or identity verification laws.
5.3 Completion of Work Ordered Through Letlaunch
Where a service is ordered:
- Letlaunch will take reasonable steps to ensure third-party providers complete the work in a timely and professional manner;
- Letlaunch does not guarantee that the work will be completed by a specific date, including where statutory or tenancy deadlines apply;
- Letlaunch is not liable for any loss resulting from late provision, incomplete provision, or non-provision of services carried out by subcontractors.
5.4 Commission, Referral, or Financial Benefit
Letlaunch may offer optional services from third-party providers for which Letlaunch receives commission, referral fees, or other financial incentives.
Where this is the case:
- The service remains entirely optional;
- Letlaunch does not require landlords or tenants to use any particular provider;
- Any commercial relationship between Letlaunch and a provider does not affect your statutory rights; and
- Letlaunch does not guarantee the quality, suitability, or outcome of third-party services.
6. Fees, Payments, and Prohibited Charges
6.1 Compliance With Tenant Fee Legislation
You agree that you will not demand, request, or accept from any tenant or prospective tenant:
- Unlawful administration or application fees;
- Charges for viewings, referencing, or tenancy set-up;
- Holding deposits exceeding statutory limits;
- Multiple holding deposits for the same property at the same time;
- “Default fees” except where expressly permitted by law; or
- Tenancy deposits that exceed legal caps.
Letlaunch may amend or remove adverts that appear to breach these rules.

- Holding deposits must not exceed one week’s rent;
- You must handle, return, or apply the deposit in strict accordance with the law;

Where a tenancy deposit is accepted:
- You must comply with the requirements of the applicable tenancy deposit protection legislation;
- You must not collect amounts beyond the statutory maximum; and
- You remain responsible for ensuring all deposit obligations are fulfilled.
Letlaunch accepts no responsibility for your compliance with deposit protection laws.
6.4 Accuracy of Advertised Fees
To ensure clarity and fairness across the Platform, Letlaunch may update, edit, or request changes to adverts that contain:
- Unclear or ambiguous fee descriptions;
- Charges that conflict with local or national legislation; or
- Misleading or incomplete representations of move-in costs.
Where Letlaunch reasonably believes an advert is non-compliant, we may notify you, amend the listing, or remove it entirely.
6.5 Consequences of Non-Compliance
Where a landlord breaches the obligations in this section, Letlaunch reserves the right to:
- Suspend or close the landlord’s account;
- Remove or pause affected listings; or
- Provide supporting evidence to authorities where legally required.
You agree that Letlaunch will not be liable for any loss arising from actions taken in line with this enforcement policy.
7. Fair Use of the Letlaunch Platform
7.1 Purpose of the Fair Use Policy
Letlaunch operates a platform intended for genuine landlords and tenants. To maintain a trustworthy, safe, and efficient environment, Letlaunch enforces fair-use standards that protect all users from misuse, abuse, or activity that undermines platform integrity.
This policy applies to all users and all listings created on the Platform.
7.2 Misuse of Listings
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of property listings, Letlaunch may remove, restrict, or suspend access to listings that appear to:
- Generate excessively abnormal or suspicious enquiry volumes;
- Attract repeated enquiries without reasonable landlord responsiveness;
- Give the impression that the property is no longer available;
- Include conflicting, misleading, or incomplete information; or
- Be used for data harvesting, spam, or non-genuine activity.
7.3 Limits on User Activity
To maintain platform security and quality, Letlaunch may impose limitations including:
- Restrictions on the number of properties a user may list at once;
- Limits on enquiry volumes or contact attempts;
- Required verification steps before listings can remain active;
- Asking landlords to provide evidence of ownership, EPC certificates, or other compliance documents.
If such information is not provided upon request, Letlaunch may suspend or remove relevant listings.
7.4 Listing Duration Controls
Letlaunch may remove or limit listings that:
- Have remained active for extended periods without an update;
- Are more than four months old;
- Are inconsistent with normal market activity for comparable properties.
These measures help prevent stale or misleading advertisements and ensure a high-quality browsing experience for tenants.
You agree that Letlaunch is not liable for any loss arising from such actions, which are taken to safeguard the integrity of the Platform.
7.5 Breaches of Fair Use
If Letlaunch reasonably determines that a user has engaged in material misuse of the Platform, it may take any necessary action, including:
- Issuing warnings;
- Limiting platform access;
- Suspending or terminating accounts;
- Removing or editing listings;
- Permanently restricting use of certain features.
Such decisions are taken at Letlaunch’s discretion to protect both users and the Platform.
8. Customer Support, Communication, and Complaints Handling
8.1 General Support Standards
Letlaunch aims to provide clear and timely support to users of the Platform. While response times may vary depending on demand, Letlaunch will make reasonable efforts to respond to written support requests within standard business hours and typically within the same working day.
This service standard applies exclusively to communication with Letlaunch’s support team. Communications with third parties, including subcontractors, other landlords, tenants, or external service providers, are outside Letlaunch’s control and may follow their own timelines.
8.2 Telephone Communications
Where Letlaunch offers telephone assistance, calls may be recorded for training, quality assurance, and monitoring purposes. By contacting Letlaunch via telephone, you consent to such recordings.
8.3 Escalation of Issues
If you have attempted to resolve an issue with the support team but remain dissatisfied, you may request that your concern be reviewed as a formal complaint.
To initiate a complaint, you must:
- Contact Letlaunch in writing; and
- Clearly state that you wish to make a formal complaint.
Letlaunch will acknowledge written complaints within five working days and arrange for review by a senior member of staff.
8.4 Complaint Investigation and Resolution
If you believe that Letlaunch has not resolved your complaint satisfactorily, you may request an independent review from:
The Property Ombudsman (TPO), Milford House, 43-55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP1 2BP
Telephone: 01722 333 306
Email: admin@tpos.co.uk
TPO requires complaints to be processed through Letlaunch’s internal complaints procedure before they are eligible for external review. Complaints must normally be referred to TPO within 12 months of Letlaunch issuing its final formal response.
9. Offers, Holding Deposits, and the Letlaunch Application Process
Letlaunch provides tools that allow tenants to begin an application for a property (“the Application Process”). This will include paying a holding deposit and submitting an offer to rent. The objective is to streamline communication while giving landlords control over next steps.
You acknowledge the following terms apply whenever a tenant initiates an application through Letlaunch.
9.1 Initiating an Application
Letlaunch immediately notifies the landlord once an application begins.
The landlord has full discretion to:
- Accept the application and progress to the next stage;
- Request referencing, further checks, or clarification;
- Decline the application for any lawful reason.
9.2 Landlord Response Window
If a landlord fails to act on the application within the designated timeframe, the holding deposit will be returned to the tenant.
Letlaunch may resume marketing the property if progress stalls or if the tenant appears to have withdrawn.
9.3 Effect of Proceeding With an Application
At the referencing stage, recommendations are non-binding and for information only.
9.4 Tenant Obligations When Making an Application
By initiating the Application Process, the tenant agrees that:
- The intended tenancy start date provided is accurate unless later varied in writing;
- Where holding deposits are lawful, the deposit will be applied to the first rental payment if a tenancy is completed;
- The property is accepted “as seen” unless otherwise agreed with the landlord;
- The tenant will sign Letlaunch’s standard contract template unless different clauses are pre-agreed with the landlord; and
- Statutory notices or required documents may be provided electronically.
9.5 Returning or Retaining Holding Deposits
A holding deposit must be returned unless the landlord makes a valid claim through Letlaunch’s platform. Letlaunch will determine whether a claim meets the legal tests above. Claims made outside of Letlaunch’s platform are not processed.
Where Letlaunch determines that a holding deposit is forfeited, the funds may be transferred to the landlord as compensation.
Letlaunch’s decision on such transfers is final.
9.6 Landlord Obligations When Receiving Forfeited Funds
If Letlaunch pays a forfeited holding deposit to a landlord, the landlord must agree that:
- If a court, enforcement authority, deposit scheme, or bank reversal requires repayment, the landlord will refund Letlaunch /the applicant in full; and
- The landlord indemnifies Letlaunch for any related loss, claim, or legal cost.
9.7 Restrictions on Using the Application Process
The Application Process must not be used if:
- The tenant has already paid a holding deposit directly to the landlord;
- The landlord is aware that a previous holding deposit has not yet been returned; and
- The landlord or tenant attempts to circumvent holding deposit rules.
In such cases, Letlaunch may decide at its discretion whether any funds held should be returned or redirected.
9.8 Tenant Data Sharing for Move-In Assistance
Letlaunch may offer tenants optional move-in assistance services (such as utility set up), delivered by approved partners. Unless the tenant opts out, Letlaunch may share relevant contact details with these providers solely to deliver the service.
More detail is available in Letlaunch’s Privacy Policy.
10. Tenancy Agreements
10.1 Subject to Contract Principle
Letlaunch merely supplies the tools to support the digital completion of the tenancy documentation and does not become a party to any tenancy agreement.
10.2 Digital Signing and Document Handling
To finalise a tenancy using Letlaunch’s Platform:
- All tenancy documents must be signed electronically using the Platform’s digital signing tools;
- The version of the tenancy agreement available through Letlaunch’s system at the time of signing will form the legally binding contract, unless the landlord and tenant have jointly agreed custom modifications in writing prior to signature;
- Letlaunch’s involvement is limited to providing secure document handling and does not constitute legal review or advice.
Letlaunch disclaims any representations regarding the content, legal effect, suitability, or enforceability of the documents created or signed using the system.
10.3 Responsibility for Reviewing Agreements
You acknowledge that:
- You (whether landlord or tenant) are solely responsible for reviewing the tenancy agreement and ensuring it reflects the intended terms;
- You must verify the identity and authority of all individuals signing the agreement; and
- You must assess your own risks associated with the transaction.
You also acknowledge that Letlaunch:
- Does not act as an agent for either party;
- Has no interest in the tenancy;
- Does not guarantee that the agreement meets statutory requirements for your particular circumstances; and

10.4 User Acknowledgement

- You enter into all agreements at your own risk;
- You will obtain your own legal, financial, or professional advice where appropriate; and
- Letlaunch has no liability for the terms you agree to, the conduct of the parties, or the outcome of the tenancy.
11. Tenancy Deposits
Letlaunch may provide tools for collecting, registering, and managing tenancy deposits (“the Deposit”) for agreements completed through the Platform. Where Letlaunch handles the Deposit, the terms below apply in addition to any obligations imposed by the relevant government-approved deposit protection scheme.

- Letlaunch will collect the Deposit from the tenant;
- The Deposit will be registered with a government-approved deposit protection provider partnered with Letlaunch;
- The Deposit will be held and administered according to the rules of the applicable scheme.
Letlaunch will provide both parties with the required scheme documentation once registration is complete.
12. First Payment of Rent Handling
Letlaunch provides tools to collect the first instalment of rent. These services are intended to support the tenancy process but do not alter the legal responsibilities of either party. Before Letlaunch can release rent funds, the landlord must provide valid UK bank details through the Letlaunch portal.
13. Treatment of Personal Data
Letlaunch processes personal data in accordance with applicable UK data-protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. This section explains how responsibilities are allocated when personal data is shared between Letlaunch and Platform users.
