Important information to remember
- Utilities: Landlords need to ensure the utilities and council tax bills are put in the name of the tenants unless the property is an HMO with individuals on different contracts.
- Liaising with your tenants: You will need to be reachable during normal office hours so that you can respond to tenant queries promptly and out of hours for emergencies
- Repairs: Establish a network of property professionals who can attend to repairs promptly and efficiently, and who will treat the tenants and their home in a professional, considerate manner.
- Data protection: You must ensure you are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
