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.
