Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 8 August

This post is more than 9 years old

August 14, 2016 by Tessa Shepperson

coffeeIt is late on Sunday evening and I suddenly realise that I am a bit late in getting this round up done.

Still better late than ever.

We have been a bit overexcited here at Landlord Law Towers over the weekend, as we have invested in some new sofa’s which has of necessity entailed a concentrated period of sitting on them.

But that’s no excuse really.  So what happened on the blog last week?

Monday

What are the chances of this landlord claiming for this dirty carpet?

A blog clinic question about a dirty carpet.  With a comment from the DPS.  See it here …

Tuesday

Why letting agents should not charge fees to tenants

A bit of  controversial one this, hence the comments.  What do YOU think?  See what other say here …

Wednesday

The Diary of a House Hunter

Ben continues on his quest.  See what this episode contained here …

Thursday

Can my landlords reduce the notice period he gives me to one month?

Another blog clinic question – read about it here …

Friday

Ben Reeve Lewis Friday Newsround #262

Ben looks at HMOs and a new scam.  Find out all about it here …
