Plan a rental's year
plan_rentalRead-onlyIdempotent
Use when a landlord in England asks what is due for a rented home and when, or wants a plan or calendar for it. Give the postcode and whatever the landlord knows: every other argument is optional. Returns each duty with its status, date, plain explanation and cited rules for the next 12 months, the questions still worth asking (as argument names), and links to an interactive plan and a calendar file. Statuses rely on the landlord's own answers, not documents. Read-only. Nothing is stored. Information, not legal advice.
