Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 23 May

May 29, 2016 by Tessa J Shepperson

audioAnother bank holiday coming up – so no blog post on Monday.

This morning I have been sorting out my next webinars.  I am going to be talking about checking and referencing tenants – and giving five essential things you must do before you let a property to a new tenant.

As usual, you will find details and can sign up for free at www.landlordlawlive.co.uk.  I am also hoping to interview a mystery guest (whose name I will reveal if he says ‘yes’).  So watch out for that.

But what happened on the blog?

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Ben Reeve Lewis Friday Newsround #253

Yes, I know but for some reason, I was convinced it was Friday.  Ben got a bit carried away about Iceland on this one.  Take a look here …

Friday

Ben hadn’t mentioned these new acts do I decided to write about them in lieu of Friday newsround (on a Friday) – find out more here …
