Resources

ResourcesThis page looks at some of the  resources available to landlords, tenants and their advisors.  Those provided by me are listed below.  To the right are, first are links to my Foundations series, and then links to other blogs and online services which may be helpful.

Lists of my blog series’

These links go to index pages for the various series of content I have done:

And on my Lodger Landlord Blog:

Landlord Law

This is my online service. It has some useful free resources for landlords and tenants.  To see them, click the orange links.

The Which Tenancy trail – this is a question and answer ‘trail’ which will help you find out which tenancy agreement is most suitable for your situation.

The New Landlords Guide – this is to help new landlords, in particular to decide whether they need to use a letting agent or not

Tessa’s Tips – these are divided into tips for landlords and tips for tenants.  They are pretty informative

Q&A Page – every two weeks (mostly) I answer 5 questions from the public.  Anyone can send a question, but not all get answered.  Old Q&A can be viewed by members only

Credit Unions – this is a list of all the credit unions I know which will accept local housing allowance payments and ring fence them for landlords.  If you know of any others, please let me know

Debt advice services – This is a list of reputable advice organisations.  If you are a tenant (or indeed a landlord) in debt it may be helpful, landlords whose tenants are in financial difficulties should provide their tenants with a list like this

 

The Local Authority Directory – this is my list of every LA in the country (so far as I am aware) with information about housing services provided and contact details.  As it takes a long time to review, some of the entries are rather out of date (please let me know if you have up to date contact details for any of them)

Legal Cases - this is a selection of links to landlord and tenant and housing cases online.  The links are generally to the BAILII report and to Lawindexpro where you can follow the links to other similar cases, plus we often have links to blog and other online reports.  Unlike the other items here, this is a ‘members only’ service, but there is a helpful article on case law which is open access – you can see it >> here.

******

These above (apart from the last item) are the main free sections of Landlord Law.  See a guide to all the services on Landlord Law >> here.

If this page does not have what you are looking for, take a look at the Nearly Legal News Feeds Page, as this has a very comprehensive set of links.

If you have any suggestions for other sites, please use our contact form on the contact page.  However note that all sites are linked from here at my  discretion.
