The availability of the Landlord Law Kits and Courses

The Renters Rights Bill, when passed, will bring in massive changes to housing legislation.  Which inevitably will render some of our training courses and kits redundant and/or in need of updating.

Here is a list setting out what action we are taking, looking first at the kits:

Kits:

The Property Audit Kit

This has already been updated and is continuing to be updated as more information becomes available.  So, the Audit kit will be useful now to help you prepare for the new rules.

The kit is available free of charge to all Landlord Law members and is also available for sale to non-members.

Find out more about the kit.

The Dealing with Changing Tenants Kit 

The English law side of this will need serious amendment when the new act comes into force, although the Welsh side will remain good law.

This kit will remain online, but once the law changes, the English side will be taken offline temporarily while it is updated.

The Property Inspection Kit

This will not really be changed by the new legislation, save that inspections will become even more important.  

The kit has recently been updated in anticipation of the new legislation, and I check it periodically to see if further updates are needed.

This kit is now available to all Landlord Law members as part of their membership and is also available for sale.

Find out more about the kit.

The Dealing with Damp and the Waste Kits

These will not be affected and will remain online.  At present, they are only available to Business Level Landlord Law members.

The Deposit Error Repair Kit

As this refers extensively to section 21, we have withdrawn it from sale, although the kit itself is still available for people who have purchased it.  

Note that much of the information in the kit can also be found in the Landlord Law Tenancy Deposit Compliance Checker. 

We hope to get this kit back up again once the new act has come into force, but it will not be a priority.

The Property Access Kit

This is in the process of being updated and so has been withdrawn from sale.  It is still online, however, for those who have bought access.

The Helping Tenants in Arrears Kit

This has now been taken down as Julie Ford has created a new kit, which can be purchased here. 

For Landlord Law members, I have done a new article which should be sufficient to enable you to help your tenants. 

Landlords with large portfolios and letting agents, though, should consider getting Julie’s kit.
