Landlord Law Roundup from 5 January

This post is more than 10 years old

January 11, 2015 by Tessa Shepperson

CoffeeIts been a very busy week this week.

That may be why I put Ben’s post online on Friday morning and then forgot to click publish!  Which is why his post went live so late.  Sorry Ben.

I managed to find some time to get more done on the online Tenancy Agreements course yesterday, assisted as always, by Sam the Cat.

Part 1 is now ready to go, with all the audios done, parts 2 to 4 are nearly there.

Much of the content is based on the workshop I do, but part 4 has quite a lot of new writing, all about the different ways that you can deal with shared properties and how this impacts on your tenancy agreement.

But what happened on the blog?
