Editorial Policy
This page explains how SunClause sources, reviews, and maintains the compliance content in our toolkits. Our commitment is to transparency about where guidance comes from and how we keep it current.
How We Source Content
All content in SunClause toolkits is derived from official sources and primary legislation:
- GOV.UK — government guidance and implementation resources
- Renters' Rights Act 2025 (c. 26) — the primary legislation itself
- Housing Act 1988 as amended — existing framework modified by the Act
- MHCLG implementation guidance — Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government materials
We do not rely on news coverage, social media discussion, or third-party opinion as primary sources. Where government guidance has not yet been published for specific provisions, we mark that content clearly as PLANNED or FUTURE.
Our Review Process
Every section of our toolkits goes through a structured review before publication:
- Content is written by the SunClause Compliance Desk based on primary sources
- Content is cross-referenced against the original legislation and official guidance
- Content is reviewed against primary sources again before each publication
- A review date is published on each page so you know when content was last checked
When government guidance changes, we update our content and publish a new version. If you spot an update that should be made, you can report it using the process described below.
Status Markers
Content may be marked with status labels to help you understand what is confirmed and what is still pending government guidance:
- PLANNED — Government guidance has been announced but not yet published
- FUTURE — Implementation date is confirmed but detailed guidance is not yet available
- Unmarked content — reflects current published guidance and legislation
What This Is Not
SunClause is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. Our toolkits are educational compliance guides created by professionals in residential property management and regulatory change, but they do not substitute for independent legal advice.
For complex situations or legal concerns, you should seek advice from a qualified solicitor or licensed conveyancer who understands the full context of your circumstances.
