I am a bit late with the roundup this week as I have been setting up a new service for Landlord Law members.
Its a new ‘bespoke’ tenancy service.
Members can request me to do up to five amends to my standard template (or more by agreement) to be set up so they can generate it online via my ‘document generator’ system in a private part of the site.
Plus I will try to get their logo on the agreement too. This is not as easy as it sounds as with the document generator things don’t always display as you expect. Tables for example are impossible.
But I think I have found a way to do it. You can read about the new service >> here.
