What our members say

I would thoroughly recommend this service, as it seems to be fairly unique in the breadth and depth of information available, as well as providing access to a qualified expert for bespoke guidance when required.
Julian CrippsLandlord
I’ve been a member of for at least 15-20 years. To me it’s an extremely valuable, unbiased and trustworthy source for the knowledge required to manage my properties according to good practice and in compliance with the (increasingly complex) law.
Rene Crevel
I have been working with these guys for years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication, they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!
D Baird Landlord
I have been working with these guys since years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!
Catriona WhyteLandlord
This service is fantastic, the site is easy to use, navigate and the processes and letters are outstanding, even someone with no prior experience of being a landlord or legal experience can use it.
Marianne BrownLandlord
Landlord Law empowers me to operate as a landlord par excellance. I highly recommend this service to anyone who lets property, because it enables one to relate to tenants correctly, with confidence and precision.

Our unique Property Audit Kit

Check that you are compliant with the rules and regulations which apply to the Private Rented Sector. All new members should do an audit as soon as they join. You should then carry out an audit annually.

But why not take a look and see for yourself? View the first section here.

Legal Information and Guidance

Use our five checklists (with different versions for England and Wales) to guide you through the process of setting up and managing a tenancy – from preparing the property for letting to dealing with end-of-tenancy issues.

Checklists link out to the extensive content on Landlord Law, including our FAQ, articles, step-by-step guides and our Property Inspection and Changing Tenants kits. There is also a detailed eviction guide.

Documents

All the documents you need for managing your property – such as tenancy agreements (or occupation contracts for Welsh members), pet permission forms, guarantee forms, notices (including possession notices), draft letters, meter readings and rent arrears forms.

Our tenancy agreements are particularly popular!

Training

It is essential that landlords keep up to date with the law. As a member, you get monthly training webinars with Tessa, other solicitors, barristers and other experts. Recordings are made available to view later (Business Level members only).

Business Level members also have access to recordings of some of our past workshops and training days, and our CPD service. Check out the training on offer.

Forum support

If you have a problem which is not covered by our extensive site information, you can pop a question on the forum and solicitor Tessa Shepperson will respond, normally within 24 hours.

For more complex problems members can book a (pay extra) telephone advice call with one of our panel solicitors.

All Landlord Law content has been personally drafted or approved by specialist landlord and tenant solicitor Tessa Shepperson.

Quick News Update boxes – a new feature on Landlord Law

Renting property is a legal transaction, and the law is subject to change. Landlords and others in the Private Rented Sector need to keep their ear to the ground and monitor the landlord press to keep up to date with what is happening. Landlord Law and the Landlord Law Blog (in particular, our Newsround) are both ways you can keep up to date. However, we don’t cover all items. Not all news items are sufficiently important to warrant a blog post all to themselves. However, I often see a news item, such as a new legal case, that I would…
