Background
The pre-tenancy stage is one of the most important parts of the tenancy and getting something wrong can lead to fines, civil penalties and even the loss of possession grounds possibly before the tenant even moves in.
From conducting the right checks at the application stage, issuing the correct compliance documents and completing correct landlord legislation, ensuring full compliance with the new Act can open the door for the landlord to set up a successful landlord – tenant relationship.
