Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 18 January

January 23, 2016 by Tessa J Shepperson

Immigration checksOn Monday we had our Right to Rent workshop with immigration and eligibility expert Sue Lukes and since then I have been pre-occupied with getting new content onto my Landlord Law site for members.

So far I have a (rather long) general information article, links to the government sites, a checklist and record form (which once completed can then be printed out and kept with the paperwork) and some FAQ.

The big job though is updating my tenancy agreements as there are some important ‘right to rent’ related clauses that need to go in.  I am also now faced with the prospect of having to do separate sets of tenancy agreements for Wales and England.  Heigh ho!

Incidentally – if you work for a Housing Association or Local Authority and need some training on the new ‘right to rent’ regime – let me know.  We may be able to help.

But what happened on the blog?

Monday

Can I sell my tenanted property but keep this a secret from the tenant?

A blog clinic question – see my comments along with some useful suggestions in the comments.  Take a look at it here …

Tuesday

Free Rent Arrears Guide for landlords

I resurrect and update my free guide and put it on a new minisite.  Find out more and see how to get hold of it here …

Wednesday

Grounds for Eviction – mandatory and discretionary grounds

Personally I consider this to be one of the most important points landlords  should note when issuing eviction proceedings.  Find out why here …

Thursday

Tenant falling into arrears of rent prior to a sale of the property

Another blog clinic question – should this landlord have told the tenant he was selling?  What do you think?  Read all about it and add your comments here …

Friday

Ben Reeve Lewis Friday Newsround #236

Ben on why he hates DJs, buffer free zones and overcrowding in Cambridge.  See what else he said here …
