Join us at a conference for Private Sector Landlords | 21st October

‘Moving forward with private renting – 2025 and beyond’ is a FREE event packed with information about the Renters’ Rights Bill, guidance and information from a range of speakers as well as practical ideas to help landlords and letting agents engage with tenants and more. Our keynote speaker will be Suzanne Smith, founder of The Independent Landlord website and YouTube channel.

What to do if your home needs repairs

Responsibility for repairs shifts between landlord and tenant depending on the work needed. We help clarify who’s responsible for what and the manner in which they should be handled.

Read our useful guide on what to do if work needs doing.
