Most Landlord Law members are landlords and the site was developed primarily to help and support private landlords. Many landlords have saved themselves thousands of pounds by using our service.
However many letting agents are also long term members - they appreciate the 'plain English' style tenancy agreements and forms (which are stored on our cloud) and being able to get quick advice via the forum
We also have advisor members, e.g. Local Authority staff and student accommodation offices - who often need quick answers to questions asked. Our articles and FAQ are ideal for this.

"I have been a landlord for over 20 years and during that time Landlord Law has been the most wonderful lifeline.
I especially appreciated the warnings of the changes to legislation.
Without Landlord Law I would not have been aware. I am so grateful to you, and send you my heartiest thanks."
Geoffrey Browne, former landlord.
"Your website was a most valuable resource for all matters relating to our tenancies and the response time from yourself for any questions posted on the site was nothing short of heroic.
If anyone is reading this and considering whether or not to join up to Landlord Law, think no more , just get your hand in your pocket and you will not regret a penny of it.
Our warm thanks to you and your team"
Richard Devlin. landlord
Q: Tessa - can you tell me a bit more about your credentials?
A: I qualified as a solicitor in 1990 and ran my own specialist landlord & tenant law firm, TJ Shepperson, for nearly 20 years. I closed this in 2013 to concentrate on Landlord Law. I am fairly well respected in the industry.
Q; Do you deal with commercial property & long leases?
We specialise in short residential tenancies, for example assured shorthold tenancies, and so we do not cover shops and offices or leases of over 7 years. Neither do we cover agricultural tenancies. However our associated solicitors Anthony Gold can advise in these areas.
Q; Can you act as my solicitor, for example in evicting tenants?
A; If you need a solicitor, housing specialists Anthony Gold or Landlord Action are associated with Landlord Law and will be happy to act for you. As I closed my law firm in 2013, I no longer take on solicitors work, although I provide some 'one to one' guidance to members via the forum.
Q: Do you give tax advice?
A: This is a site for legal information and so does not cover tax advice. Neither can we offer any financial services. Landlords are advised to speak to their accountants for tax advice.
Q: Do you give free advice to members?
A; Members can ask Tessa 'quick questions' in the members forum area. However apart from this, 'one to one' advice is a paid extra service.
Q; If I need to cancel, what do I do?
A; You can cancel and get a full refund provided you let us know (e.g.via our onsite contact form) within 30 days of first joining as a member. Refunds after that are at our discretion. You can also get a full refund of any recurring payment if you notify us within 7 days of the payment being made.
Q: Do I have to sign up for a whole year?
A; No. Only if you join as an annual member. If you join as a monthly member then you can cancel your membership after one month if you want, or after several months or remain as a long term monthly member. It is up to you.
Q; Does your service cover Scotland and Northern Ireland?
A: No, those areas have different legal systems. Neither do we cater for landlords elsewhere, eg in American or Australia (apart from ex pat landlords) . This site is only relevant for property in England & Wales UK.
Q: Do you offer a membership service for businesses (as opposed to individual landlords or agents)?
A: We are developing a new 'teams' service and hope to be able to launch this shortly. Until then we only provide the individual memberships
Q: Can I see your terms and conditions?
A; Yes, Landlord Law membership is subject to the terms and conditions you will find here (the page will open in a new tab or window)
