Jun 1, 2026June 2026: Delivered a flexible landlord-ownership model through OwnershipLink to support many-to-many landlord-property relationships, replacing the old landlordship pattern. Updated domains, repositories, services, seeding, and tests with auditing and unique constraints to ensure data integrity and traceability. Reverted metrics cohorts and related MetricsController changes to stabilize reporting and metrics formatting. Overall, the changes enable richer ownership representations, improve data quality, and lay groundwork for future multi-landlord scenarios and enhanced reporting.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 monthly summary for communitiesuk/prsdb-webapp: Delivered end-to-end certificate lifecycle improvements for gas and electrical safety workflows, introducing robust multi-file uploads, lifecycle management, and user-focused review steps. Gas safety: multi-file uploads with optional member IDs in filenames, removal capability, and deletion of uploaded files from S3 when removed from a journey; added a 'check your answers' page for gas safety questions. Electrical safety: new upload/remove flows for EICR/EIC certificates, checks on uploaded certificates, and a dedicated review page; 'check your answers' page added for property registration; highest member ID tracking to ensure data integrity. Across both features, implemented lifecycle hooks to prevent orphaned files, improved data quality, and enabled easier regulatory compliance. Work tracked through multiple PDJB tickets (635-636-637 and 651-655) with 12 commits contributing to the deliverables.
