Welcome to the 19th issue of the LandlordZONE Newsletter—we’re building up quite a library of back-issue of this Newsletter, all accessible on-line in our Newsletter Archive and covering some important topics that landlord should know about.
This issue looks at maintenance & repair, a constant source of problems with both landlords and tenants.
Good landlords avoid most of the problems by being proactive, providing good accommodation and reacting fast when things go wrong.
Bad landlords on the other hand get everyone a bad name by skimping and penny pinching and quibbling about who is responsible.
It’s got to be admitted, there are some bad tenants as well; those that use defects, or invented defects, or even created defects, to drive their landlords mad and avoid paying rent.
The Revenue (HMRC) have been cracking down recently on those landlords who do not declare rental income. Don’t be a fool and get caught out on this, having your reputation tarnished in the process—the risks of being caught are very high and the actual amount of tax due is probably low—see the piece on this Page 4 of the Newsletter.
