Expert Guidance

Our Expert Guidance section provides in-depth, legally grounded advice for both landlords and tenants across all stages of the rental journey. Whether you're drafting a tenancy agreement, navigating a deposit dispute, or responding to maintenance obligations, our team of legal and housing experts is here to help you stay compliant and make informed decisions.

We focus on the issues that matter most:

  • Understanding your rights and responsibilities under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985

  • Ensuring properties meet the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018

  • Avoiding unlawful deductions and ensuring Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) compliance

  • Dealing with common disputes — rent arrears, repairs, entry rights, end-of-tenancy disagreements

All content is regularly reviewed and written in plain English, with references to current UK law, tribunal decisions, and case precedent where applicable.

Whether you're an experienced landlord or a tenant entering your first agreement, our expert content is here to support lawful, fair, and efficient tenancies.
