Another bank holiday – but the last one now until the end of August.
Not much happening here in Landlord Law towers, apart from my bespoke tenancy agreement offer, which you can read about >> here.
If you want a bespoke tenancy agreement note that the offer will end on Thursday.
However here the sun is shining and we are going off on a walk shortly.

Friday
