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:
- Common law and statute
- Criminal law and civil law
- Contract law
- Tort (or civil wrongs)
- Trust and Equity
- Land Law
- Agency Law
Note that these courses are only available to Landlord Law members.
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.
The Conference recordings are linked from here »
They are not available to non-members or ‘Basic Level’ members.
This is the recording of a training workshop with barrister Robert Brown which took place in October 2018. It deals with the rules which apply to a landlord who is also a tenant him or herself under a long lease.
Landlord Law members will find the course here »
It is not available to non-members or Basic Level members.
The Landlord Law CPD Service
Note that we offer a monthly CPD by multiple-choice questionnaire. If you get 6 or more of the 10 questions correct you will earn 1 hour / one point CPD and also 10 Landlord Law points.
Training courses available for purchase
None of these are available to members although members will normally get a discount when buying.
Note that most of our training courses have been withdrawn from sale as they will be made redundant by the Renters Rights Bill when it becomes law.
The recordings of our popular and acclaimed two-day training event in mid-March 2025.
The cost is £180 for six months access (although access can be extended on request)

This is the recording of our Legal Update workshop on 25 March 2024 with Justin Bates KC, along with his detailed notes, and various bonus items.
As this will be rendered largely redundant when the Renters Rights Bill comes into force this course is no longer available for sale. However the recordings remain online for those who have purchased in the past.This is the recording of Tessa Shepperson’s workshop on 3 March 2022 along with the detailed notes, the presentation and various bonus items. Not suitable for landlords in Wales.
This training was recorded in 2020. Note that Rent to Rent arrangements will become less favourable to property owners once the Renters Rights Bill comes into force. We do not recommend rent to rent arrangments – most property owners would be best advised to use a decent letting agent instead. Â
We have therefore removed the course from sale but the recordings are still available for purchasers.
This course consists of the recordings of a live event which took place in November 2020 where rent to rent was considered in detail, the pitfalls carefully explained and guidance given.
This event was in association with JMW Solicitors.Â
There is also a special tenancy agreement which can be purchased from the Landlord Law Shop.
This is a very detailed online course looking at tenancy agreements.
However, as there will be new requirements for tenancy agreements under the Renters Rights Bill once it becomes law, it has been withdrawn from sale. It can still be viewed by people who have bought it in the past.
Other training related services provided by Landlord Law include:
The Legal Cases webinars
In house training (mainly for Local Authorities and Housing Associations)
Landlord Law Kits
These are step-by-step guides.
- The Audit, Property inspection and Dealing with Changing Tenants kits are available to all Landlord Law members
- The Dealing with Damp and Waste Kits are available to Business Level members only and are not currently available to buy.Â
Some of the others have been withdrawn from sale pending the coming into force of the Renters Rights Bill. See the individual items below for more information.
An essential kit which will help you carry out an ‘audit’ of your properties and property business, ensuring that you are compliant with the law.
It is available to all Landlord Law members as part of their membership but is also available for sale as a separate product,
This kit has been withdrawn from sale as it will need to be amended once the Renters Rights Bill comes into force.Â
However, past purchasers and current Landlord Law members can access it via the link below Â

Available just to Landlord Law members (both Basic and Business level members) this Kit looks at the law and rules which apply if the landlord or the tenant die during a tenancy.
This kit refers extensively to section 21 which is due to be abolished when the Renters Reform Bill becomes law. We have therefore removed it from sale although it is still available to view by customers who have bought it. We will be updating it when the new law comes into force.
This kit is to help landlords who have failed to protect the tenant’s deposit and now need to evict. Â
Guidance on how to get access when your tenants refuse. Includes guidance on obtaining a county court injunction.
This is a large and detailed kit. A new version has now been completed and is available to Landlord Law members only.
