If you have a written agreement between tenant and landlord, the document should indicate the type of tenancy and the duration.  The document needs to be signed by the tenant and the landlord and each should receive their own copy.  Your landlord is obliged by law to give you their name an address even if you don’t have a written tenancy agreement drawn up.

A landlord has been left open-mouthed after a tenant walked away from court without having to pay a penny of the £20,000 of damage he caused to a rented property.

As winter approaches the risk of property fires grow.  It’s never been more important therefore for landlords and agents to ensure their rented properties are safe and protected against fire and smoke damage.

We hear a lot about rogue landlords in the press and on consumer awareness programmes, but there is also a lot to be said about rogue tenants, or to give them their more common name, ‘tenants from hell’.  The truth is that the tenant from hell can be anybody. That sweet little old lady wanting to rent so she’s close to her daughter?  She’s actually into loud jazz music and will refuse to turn it down.  That pleasant family with the two small children? They are always arguing loudly and they’ve been kicked out of many properties as a result.  Of course, as a landlord you need to protect your investment and your interests and the best way you can do this is through the many checks you have at your disposal.

If you’ve just purchased a property to let out the crucial step is preparing it for tenants.  Of course, the most important aspect of preparation is ensuring the property is ready to live in.  Once this step is complete you are ready to start checking out tenants and getting some serious rent coming in!
