Landlords have a responsibility to ensure their properties are safe for tenants. This includes paying close attention to fire safety. Unlike gas safety or electrical safety, there isn’t a certificate you can obtain that shows unequivocally that your property is safe for tenants, but there are certain things you must do, some of which are mandatory.

The coronavirus ‘stay-at-home’ instruction led to the temporary closure of office premises across the country. Many workers who abruptly left their office desks following the declaration of the pandemic have embraced working from home for nearly one year.

A tenancy agreement is a contract between the landlord and the tenant. It sets out in writing all the terms and conditions of the tenancy. This includes how long the tenancy will last, how much rent the landlord expects the tenant to pay, and when these payments are due. Like any other contract, it is legally binding, and if either party breaches the contract, there are consequences. 

Most landlords will be familiar with the major property portals Rightmove and Zoopla. They deal with both property rentals and buying and selling. These huge portals are popular with prospective tenants and house buyers and so they’re usually the first thing a landlord thinks of when advertising properties to rent. For many self-managing landlords though it isn’t as straightforward as taking out an advert on Rightmove and Zoopla. There are some extra steps and expenses you may not have considered before using these portals. Here we’re going to take a look at the pros and cons of using Rightmove and Zoopla, how much it will cost, whether there are other options open to you and how you can save money if you do decide to use these platforms.
