Training

Easy Law for Landlords course – By Tessa Shepperson
This course is divided into 14 weekly parts which will be delivered to you one week at a time – giving you time to study and absorb one part before going on to the next.

The course content will start by looking at general law topics in outline, before moving in to look at the housing legislation (the Housing and Rent Acts) in more detail, finishing off with some content on shared properties and HMOs.

By the time you reach the end you will have a much better understanding of the laws that affect landlords and their properties.

Full course details available here.
