Essential Reading for Every Commercial Landlord.
Being a landlord isn’t just about collecting rent. One overlooked lease clause, a tenant stepping outside the rules, or a dispute left unresolved can quickly eat into your income and your property’s value. The Tenants and Leases Survival Guide shows you how to stay in control with clear, practical advice you can use immediately to protect your investment and your peace of mind.
Understand How Lease Terms Impact Value
Discover why the fine print in your lease directly affects your property’s investment value, and how small details can have a big impact on yield and buyer confidence.
Spot & Manage Unauthorised Activity
From 'hidden HMOs' to unapproved fit-outs, unauthorised tenant activity can expose landlords to legal and financial risk. Discover the warning signs and what to do about them.
Tackle Arrears and Unpaid Rent Effectively
Delays in payment hurt cashflow. The guide explains the hierarchy of steps to take, from tenant dialogue to formal enforcement - to recover what you’re owed.
Resolve Disputes Before They Escalate
Disagreements over repairs, use, or payments are common. See how to approach them constructively, keeping issues out of court where possible.
Protect Your Position Without Overcomplicating Leases
It’s not about creating 'landlord traps'. It’s about ensuring the right protections are in place so your income is secure and your property value is preserved.
Learn From Real Case Studies
The guide shares real-world examples of tenant issues and how they were resolved, giving you practical insights you can apply immediately.
