How do I replace a certificate that's expired mid-tenancy?

Upload the new one to the same checklist item or property document — the old version is archived rather than deleted, so your history stays intact.

You don't need to wait for a renewal or start anything new. Upload the replacement against the same item from the property page or the tenancy's compliance checklist at any point.

The previous document is archived, not deleted — it's marked as superseded and stays visible under document history. That matters: if you're ever asked to show the property had a valid gas certificate in a particular month, you need the old one as much as the current one.

Not legal advice

These answers describe how Tenarize works and summarise the law in England as the product implements it. They are not legal advice about your situation, and the law changes. For free independent help, Citizens Advice and Shelter both cover renting in England; for anything unusual or contested, take advice from a solicitor.

Tenarize does not currently support Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, whose tenancy regimes are different.
