Khalil: Can landlords ever escape the legislative burden?

Hardly a month goes by when landlords don’t hear of plans for – or the arrival of – new legislation that demands they jump through more administrative hoops to prove they are providing safe and compliant homes for their tenants.

Red tape, certificates, assessments and reports
There is only one thing constant about the legislative landscape and that’s the certainty that more of it is on the way. Many landlords feel it is becoming harder to keep up with than ever before – and you can’t help but agree.

This is shocking
Increasingly landlords are failing to keep up with even the basics. A recent survey by Direct Line for Business found that 10% of landlords have no formal tenancy agreement in place at all.
What’s more, where contracts are used, many landlords are unwittingly using legal forms that are far from legally compliant. Direct Line also discovered that of the landlords not using a letting agent, 58% rely on tenancy agreements that are unlikely to provide the legal cover they need. Many have adapted outdated contracts and a growing number are placing their blind faith in tenancy agreements they have downloaded for free on the internet.

This is worrying
It’s easy to see why landlords are taking shortcuts: it’s hard to keep up with all the demands out there. But, at the same time, would you take such chances with other financial sources of income – like a job contract or a loan agreement?

A heavy burden
The sad fact is that at the moment, landlords have to adhere to over 140 government statutes and regulations in order to provide a safe and compliant home. That’s a lot to keep track of.
Unfortunately the consequences of not being compliant will place you at greater risk of tenant problems and significant fines. It will also, of course, place your tenants in potentially life-threatening living conditions.

This is where I can help
On top of the legal compliance issues there are no end of added hassles that eat slowly but surely into your time (and profits).
• Day to day maintenance of the property
• Finding tenants
• Checking tenants
• Dealing with tenants
• Handling rent arrears
• Covering void periods

And the list goes on.

What if you could forget all these and never have to worry about the ins and outs of letting a property? What if you could just let it and forget it?

Well, you can.
