Literal interpretations continued…

Close reading of the regulations shows that both the Landlord AND the Agent must send the Information Sheet for managed properties. The agent can send on behalf of the landlord. The easiest way to do that (and cheapest if using RMail/RSign/Docusign) is to send one email with 2 identical attachments.
I’m not making this up and the following wording has been approved by TfP.

Dear Fred Bloggs

Please find attached the Government’s Information Sheet informing you of changes to your tenancy at 13a Gasworks Row, Cheam, Surrey.

There are two identical attachments; one from your landlord and one from us, the landlord’s agent  – as the law requires.

Please feel free to contact us if there is anything in it you don’t understand.

Yours

So this has become the default wording in the RRA cover letter. Rentman will also add the attachment twice – but you have the ability to modify the “package” and remove the second copy if your landlords are sending their own..
