LANDLORD LAW MEMBERSHIP

Legal help, services and support for landlords

Landlord Law is an online information service for residential landlords in England and Wales UK. It will help you understand your legal obligations, and provides easy to use services with step by step guidance and documentation so you can save money by doing things yourself without making expensive mistakes.

Suitable for private sector landlords, letting agents and advisers – plus we cover Welsh housing law too!

Note – Landlord Law is more expensive than some other online services but most members find that the quality of the service and access to solicitor and Landlord & Tenant Law expert Tessa Shepperson’s advice via the members’ forum, more than makes up for this.

Landlords

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.

Agents

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

Advisers

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.

What our members say:

“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

Some Frequently Asked Questions:

All links in the FAQ below will open in a new tab or window

Q: Tessa – can you tell me a bit more about your credentials?

A: I am a solicitor, I qualified 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 residential leases of over 7 years. Neither do we cover agricultural tenancies. However, the solicitors on our telephone advice panel may be able to assist in those areas.

Q: Can you act as my solicitor, for example, in evicting tenants?

A:  Landlord Law is a ‘one to many’ online information service, and we do not take on any case work, although I provide some ‘one-to-one’ guidance to members via the forum.  If you want to speak to a solicitor, we have a telephone advice service with a panel of specialist solicitors you can consult  here.  We also have a list of recommended eviction solicitors who members can instruct online.

Q: Is any of your content generated from AI services such as ChatGPT, which is sometimes vulnerable to ‘hallucinations’ (i.e. making up incorrect content)?

A: We do have a subscription to ChatGPT but it is not used for creating any Landlord Law content which (save where stated otherwise on the page) has all been written or created by Tessa Shepperson personally.  

Q: Do you give tax advice?

A: This is a site for legal information and so does not cover tax advice. Neither do we offer any financial advice or 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 provided via our telephone advice service discussed above.

Q: Why should I join Landlord Law when so much legal and other guidance is freely available on the internet?

A: This is true, but you need to be careful as not all of that information is correct, and it may be out of date.  Landlord Law content is reliable as it has been drafted by solicitor Tessa Shepperson, who will also answer ‘quick questions’ on the member’s private forum.  Members also join for the professionally drafted documents and forms.

Q: Can I see your terms and conditions?

A; Yes, Landlord Law membership is subject to the terms and conditions you will find here.

Q: How can I be sure your system will work with my computer?

A: It should do, we use standard WordPress software and plugins.  However, if you have difficulties, you can always cancel and get a full refund under our guarantee. 

Q: If I need to cancel, what do I do?

A: You can cancel your subscription yourself online (we have a help article here)or you can contact us and ask us to cancel your membership for you.

Q; Can I get a refund when I cancel?

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 cancel and 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’s up to you.

Q: Does your service cover Wales?

A: Yes, we have detailed guidance on the new Welsh legislation, along with forms and occupation contracts for you to use.

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: Yes, please see the information page here about our ‘Teams’ service.

Q: Can I talk to someone on the telephone about my options?

A: No, our call handling staff are not trained to advise on this or on legal issues.  We have detailed information pages here.  If you have a specific question can you please ask this via our green button support service (you may need to wait for the info boxes to load) – we will normally get back to you within 24 hours

“We have been with you since 2006 and love the site – gives us massive confidence as landlords, and it makes a huge difference having a real person fronting it rather than a faceless company name”
Ian Cosier, Landlord

“This service is fantastic, the site is easy to use, navigate and the processes and letters are outstanding, even someone with no prior experience of being a landlord or legal experience can use it.”
Marianne Brown, Landlord

“Would thoroughly recommend this service, as it seems to be fairly unique in the breadth and depth of information available, as well as providing access to a qualified expert for bespoke guidance when required.”
Julian Cripps, Landlord

“Your website gives me the courage to do things by myself”
Yvette Newbury, Landlord

“As a completely new landlord I found this an easily accessible resource which provided clear information. I used it especially for tenancy agreements and when I had a query it was answered swiftly and effectively.”
Catriona Whyte, Landlord

“Even with managing only one property it can be a complete minefield keeping up with changes in legislation, tenancy checks and rent disputes.”

Landlord Law certainly makes the whole process a lot less stressful, with access to a wealth of information and knowledge. Thanks Tessa.”
