Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 14 April

This post is more than 11 years old

April 26, 2014 by Tessa Shepperson

The Conference CourseI have been doing a lot of work over the past few days on our Landlord Law Conference Course.

You will remember that we had a conference at the end of March and we had that filmed.  One of the reasons for this is that we could then use the film footage to create courses and share the knowledge.

The conference course will have all the talks, plus the notes, power points etc.  I’m hoping to launch it next week sometime.

In the lead up I will be releasing some clips of the talks – they will all be useful clips with helpful guidance in them, to show you what you will be getting if you join the course.

The first of these clips is now live and you can watch it right now if you >> sign up here (no obligation to buy anything).

But what happened on the blog?

We have an extra long post today as I did not do a rounup last week due to Easter.
