Landlord Law Blog Weekly Roundup from 12 May

This post is more than 11 years old

May 18, 2014 by Tessa Shepperson

Morning coffeeI was sad to learn recently of the death of one of my favourite authors – Mary Stewart.  Although 97 is a very good age.

My son and I are reading the Crystal Cave together in her memory.

Turning to landlord & tenant  issues, we have an exciting new Welsh project which I may tell you about in a few weeks, and I am hoping to re-launch the Gas Access Kit soon.

But what happened on the blog?

Monday

Can a tenant leaving early get a refund?

A blog clinic quesiton of course.  What do you think?  See here …

Tuesday

Just thinking – trends in cases

This first is what may turn into an occasional series of short posts just commenting on recent developments.  This time it is a case on section 8.  Although the commentators all wanted to write about deposits.  Read it here …

Wednesday

Can these tenants ask their landlord to deal with unpleasant neighbours?

When is an issue a landlord & tenant issue and when is it is neighbour dispute?  Find out more here …

Thursday

Free content for landlords at the new Landlord Law Store & Library

I have mentioned my new site a few times, but this is a proper post about it, and the free content you will find there.  See here …

Friday

Ben Reeve Lewis Friday Newsround #153

He’s back, and talking about renting in Germany, islands which are cheaper than London flats, and maybe moving to Oz.  Read it all here …
