AI built for UK landlord law — by a landlord

Why I built Wala

As a landlord I've dealt with arrears, notices, repairs and paperwork first-hand — and seen how expensive and slow it can be just to find out where you stand. As a software developer I've spent over 25 years building databases, web applications and AI voice assistants for UK businesses.

Wala brings the two together: an AI that knows UK landlord law, checks it before it answers, and tells you plainly what it means for your property — any time, by voice or text, in your language.

Built for UK landlords

General-purpose chatbots often sound confident and get UK landlord law wrong — especially since the Renters' Rights Act changed so much in May 2026. Wala is built differently:

• It checks before it answers. Wala looks up our library of checked, dated landlord-law cards (sources include GOV.UK, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 and the Housing Act 1988) before stating any rule, notice period, form, fee or deadline, and it says when that information was last checked.
• It works through your facts. It helps you see which Section 8 grounds might apply, the notice periods and the earliest dates to check — and when to get a solicitor. Not a generic essay.
• It shows its working. Step-by-step guides, your personal timeline and the tenancy lifecycle map appear on screen while it talks.
• It's tested. Every week Wala is checked automatically against a bank of real landlord questions, and the law it relies on is reviewed as the rules change.
• It knows its limits. Wala gives general information, not legal advice. When something is high-risk — a court hearing, a disputed deposit, a disrepair claim — it says so and connects you with a qualified professional.

What Wala covers

Possession and Section 8 notices, rent arrears, rent increases (Form 4A), tenancy agreements and the written statement of terms, deposits, repairs and damp, safety certificates and compliance, problem tenants, selling a rented property (with or without tenants), and running a buy-to-let portfolio. Detailed information is for England; Wala signposts the right rules for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
