REGULATIONS FOR LANDLORDS.
Being a Landlord isn’t always easy and there are multiple things to consider from finding the right Tenant to ensure all legal requirements have been met. Some things to consider are:
- Referencing
- Credit checks
- Tenancy Agreement
- Prescribed Information in registering Deposits
- Legionella Information included in the inventory fee
- Deposit Scheme Guide
- Right to Rent checks
- How to Rent booklet
- HMO management information to tenants (where applicable)
- Gas safety records (where applicable)
- Electrical installation condition report
- Tenancy Renewals
- Rent increase negotiation
- Noise complaints and general complaint handling
- Tenancy Extensions
- Information to Tenants Leaflet (Management Details)
Why choose us?
Despite the Government imposing the ban on tenants’ fees, the Landlord’s requirements in the Private Rented Sector have become more onerous. We carry out a detailed amount of work to try to ensure that the tenants are not only well referenced and credit worthy but also that they are legally able to move into your property. In order to protect Landlords from acting illegally some examples of what we are required to do include.
- Protecting Deposits/Issuing Prescribed Information
It is important that this is done to the letter of the Law and costly if it is done incorrectly.
- Right to Rent
Are your tenants free to live in UK? What documentation do you require? You will be liable for fines of up to £3000 per tenant found to be living in the UK illegally.
These are just a couple of examples of the areas we cover in order to keep our landlords compliant and protected by ensuring we meet all your legal requirements. Failure to do these correctly would be a costly mistake and you need to be sure that if you use other Agents, that they are on top of these issues.
As a Landlord it is your legal responsibility to provide this information, failure to do so means that you are unable to serve notice on your tenant and could potentially be open to prosecution.
Having researched the local market, we have found our fees to be considerably lower than the industry norm despite consistently preventing costly void periods for our landlords and keeping abreast of legislative regulation protecting Landlords from vulnerability.
The Government’s standpoint on this issue is that the Landlord employs the Agent to Let their property and as such should bear the costs of doing so.
