Product Description

Metro, September 2006
'Explains a landlord's rights and obligations in layman's terms
and also considers the real financial aspects of buying to let'
--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Jacket
The law of landlord and tenant can be minefield for the unwary. Whether you are renting or letting a house, flat or just a room, you need to be fully aware of the legal rights on both sides, the financial implications of the agreement into which you are entering and the practicalities of the landlord/tenant relationship. This informative guide from Which? puts you in the picture.

For the landlord, key issues covered include:
* the different types of tenancy--your obligations and rights
* how to find reliable tenants
* rents and deposits--gauging what to charge
* what to include in a written letting agreement
* grounds for possession during a tenancy and how to obtain a court order for possession.

For the tenant, there is sound advice on:
* types of tenancy agreement and security of tenure
* how to deal with harassment and protect yourself from unlawful eviction
* your rights in the event of a rent increase or unreasonable service charges
* who pays the council tax, service charges and repair bills
* the collective right to buy the freehold *

The Which? Guide to Renting and Letting tackles all the common problems that arise between landlord and tenant, and by explaining how the law operates it should enable readers to avoid most of them. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A foray into the legal implications of renting and letting, 26 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This book is not one to be read cover to cover. Instead it is a crucial reference for anyone who is either a landlord or a tenant.

The Which Guide concentrates on the legal aspects of renting residential property. The language used is clear, concise and not drowned in "legalese".

There are numerous case study type senarios in order to answer most of the obvious and some of the not so obvious questions.

The main advantage of this publication is the depth to which it explores legal issues. No further research would be necessary in most cases as this book answers the case in black and white.

All aspects of the different forms of tenancy are explored with views from the side of the landlord and that of the tenant being shown.

As an extra bonus there are sample tenancy agreements included in the appendix.

If you are either a landlord or a tenant this book could just s ave you a fortune in solicitors fees.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Law covering tenancy agreements for Landlord and Tenant, 29 Nov 2003
By Mr Peter J Lyons (Merton Park, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a very informative, practical and comprehensive guide detailing the legal obligations for both Landlords and Tenants in England, Wales and Scotland. This is essentially a reference book and is therefore not the sort of book that needs to be read from cover to cover. It has been compiled by legal experts and successfully manages to convey to the reader in plain English the legal terms and complexities of tenancy agreements.

The book starts by giving details of the different rights of tenants under the various types of tenancies currently being offered. Of particular relevance for both landlord and tenant alike are the different rights offered to tenants under Shorthold tenancies compared with Assured and other tenancy types. The book also gives sample cases of common problems encountered during the landlord / tenant relationship and gives a clear indication of each party’s legal positions.

The authors do insist that, in the event of a tenancy problem, it is not a replacement for legal advice. Nevertheless it does give the reader a good grounding in how to prevent such problems from occurring. It also arms the reader with a good basic knowledge of their legal position. This could be of particular use when discussing tenancy problems with a member of the legal profession.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 8 April 2009
The book is excellent - a really useful reference book. It is written from a financial and legal perspective and doesn't waste chapters on how to find a property, how to bid at auctions etc. but instead focuses on yields (ie. how to compare investments), how the tax works, forms of tenancy agreement.
I highly rate it and would recommend it.
