Could you be fined for Letting your property?

Guest Editorial •  Winter 2022

Do you have the constant battle managing a rental property?
Are you able to keep up with the constant changes in regulations?
Are you overwhelmed as a landlord?

Many Landlords are relaxed in managing property and believe that securing a tenant and sorting occasional repairs is easy if the money comes in every month.

But what happens if you need to evict a tenant?
Have you supplied all the necessary documentation during their check-in?

What happens if the tenant is injured on the property?
Are you fully compliant with the latest regulations to prevent being fined? Is your documentation up to date? Are you carrying out regular checks?

Here at Em Lets, we regularly meet new landlords who need help keeping up with regulations. Most Landlords do their best with the information they have available at the time, however as time passes and the landlord is busy with their business, job or retirement, regulations are constantly adapting.

Landlords can quickly find themselves vulnerable to being fined due to these changes. It is essential to understand that as a landlord, you are responsible to your tenant, ensuring the property is up to standards for living in, all documentation is correct, and those timely responses to repairs are made.

We at Em Lets offer a free health check for landlords to help make sure you are fully compliant.
