This week was enlivened for me by a trip to London to the Future Renting Conference. It reminded me that landlords only have a limited time now to ensure that they are compliant for the big HMO change on 1 October.
I’ll be writing about this, probably sometime this week. But in the meantime – what happened on the blog last week?
