News and Comment on Landlord Law Blog

News Although Landlord Law Blog is not a news blog as such, we try to cover the major news stories in Landlord & Tenant law and practice - in the private sector anyway.

Ben has a regular Newsround column on Fridays. Most of the other news posts are written by Tessa.

Although Landlord Law Blog covers the news, we are not really a news service. Tessa regularly tweets out housing news stories.

You may also be interested in some of the more 'newsy' sites listed below.

Your Comments

We are also always interested to hear from YOU so please do write a comment if you have any thoughts or views on the posts (although see the comments policy here).
