Landlord Law Blog roundup from 20 January

snow2Another largely snowbound week, being as I am terried of walking on ice.  I know, sad.

Mind you, I have now ordered some of those snow grip things you put over your shoes so this probably means it’s about to clear.

When I was a child, my parents bought my brother a sled for Christmas – we then had no more snow for eight years.  Lifes like that.
