Landlord Law is a legal information site, but to properly understand landlord and tenant law, landlords should have a basic understanding of general legal principles. To help we have a series of seven short courses.  The first six are on important legal topics.  The seventh, on agency law, is a bit more detailed and is included because so many landlords use letting agents (who are governed, although many may not realise it) by agency law.

The courses available are as follows:

Note that these courses are only available to Landlord Law members.
The Landlord Law Conference Recordings (2013 - 2022)

Between 2013 and 2022 we ran an annual Landlord Law Conference.  All the talks were recorded (with the exception of 2016 where only a few recordings are available).

The Conference talks have now been added to Landlord Law and can be viewed by Business Level Members along with the speakers’ PowerPoint presentations and notes.

Law for Leaseholder Landlords Video Course (2018)
