Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 27 February

MarchCan’t say I’m sorry to see the back of February this year, always one of the more  depressing months of the year.  Lets hope March will be better.

Still I managed to get my free course out, which was a bit of an effort, but it seems to be popular as loads of people have signed up for it.

Lets see what happened on the blog.

Monday

Tuesday

This is the launch of my new free course.  Its been in the pipeline for quite a while so it was nice to release it into the wild, as it were.  Read all about it here …

Wednesday

Thursday
