Thank you for signing up for this 12-part introductory e-course on the legal rules and regulations which apply to rented property.

It should be useful for all landlords but will be particularly helpful if you are a new landlord.

Although a short e-course like this cannot cover EVERYTHING, it does discuss all the main things you need to know and suggest places where you can go for further help and information.

Often the main thing is just to be aware that there is a rule or regulation covering a particular issue. Then, you can make sure – if the issue arises, that you are doing the right thing.

For example, many amateur landlords get caught out by tenancy deposits. They take a deposit but have no idea that there are rules which apply. Then they find out, too late, that they have failed to comply and get into all sorts of problems. Don’t let this happen to you! (We look at deposits in part 5).

This e-course has been around for a long time.  It was originally published as an e-course on my Landlord Law blog.  I then turned it into an e-book.  However, I have now re-converted it back to an e-course and updated it.  I think the e-course format is better as it is much easier for me to update if the law changes.

You can also read about legal issues and law changes on the Landlord Law Blog and this course will refer you to some of the posts there for further information, along with links to some of the Landlord Law content.

The Course delivery and the index

You will now receive weekly emails linking you to the 12 parts of the course, with the first scheduled to go out the day after you sign up.

If you don’t receive the emails, check your spam folder.  Or do a search in your inbox for the email heading:

The course is free, but there is a helpful index which is visible to Landlord Law members.  If you are not a member, you can purchase it here for £24 (£20 + VAT). 

The index will allow you to find all the different parts without having to refer to the emails. Plus you can also read ahead and not wait until the next email comes along.

Enjoy!
