A message for landlords who self-manage their properties:
- Are you aware that there are literally hundreds of rules and regulations that apply to rented property?
- Did you know that non-compliance can result in heavy fines, prosecutions and (in extreme cases) a banning order?
- Are you confident that you are fully compliant?
It is perfectly possible for landlords to self manage their properties, and by doing so save thousands of pounds. However, you need to be careful as the penalties if you get things wrong can be fierce.
Landlord Law can help you by providing:
- Step by step guides covering all the main stages of renting property to tenants – to help you avoid mistakes
- Further detailed guidance in articles, FAQ, and online guides
- Professionally drafted documentation including ‘plain English style’ tenancy agreements
- A members forum where you can ask solicitor Tessa Shepperson ‘quick questions’ – normal response time is within 24 hours
Landlord Law is written and run by specialist landlord & tenant solicitor Tessa Shepperson
