Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 4 August

This post is more than 11 years old

August 9, 2014 by Tessa Shepperson

Landlord LawBen and I have been thinking about case law this week.  Specifically case law for social housing workers.

How best to deliver it?

  • Should it be via an online database of cases – laid out in a user friendly way
  • Or maybe regular updating email newsletters
  • Or perhaps regular webinars?
  • Or would something else be better?

If YOU work in housing – what would YOU like?   Please leave a comment below or email tessa @ landlordlawblog.co.uk.
