Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 6 January

January 11, 2014 by Tessa J Shepperson

students clappingSo here we are in 2014.  Last year was not bad I suppose but here’s hoping this year will be better.

We have certainly got going with our training company Easy Law Training, and now have three workshops you can sign up for on various topics, an online training course and of course the Conference.

You can read about them all via the main School for Landlords wesbsite.

But what happened on the blog?

Monday

Why should landlords rent to tenants on housing benefit?

This post looks at the housing benefit / rent arrears issue in the light of Ashford landlord Fergus Wilson’s decision to serve eviction notices on all his benefit tenants.  It has generated quite a lot of comments.  Read them all here …

Tuesday

How do we enforce a tenancy deposit award against a non paying landlord and agent?

A blog clinic question this where I talk about enforcement of CCJs.  A tricky topic.  Take a look here …

Wednesday

Online Agency law course from Easy Law Training

I write about the new online course I have developed for landlords and letting agents.  If you are interested not you need to sign up by 3 February when it starts.  Find out more here …

Thursday

Tessa’s Tenancy Agreements – where the landlord pays the bills

This type of agreement is recommended if you are letting to tenants renting a room in a shared house.  Find out more here …

Friday

Ben Reeve Lewis Friday Newsround #156

He’s back after the Christmas break with tales of Romanians and Hungarians, strangely uneven Council funding and redress schemes for agents.  Read it all here … 

 

Further Reading

  • Watch Fergus Wilson explain his decision to evict all HB tenants on this Channel 4 clip (it may take a while to load)
  • Read about a loophole in the Bedroom Tax on the Guardian
