ANUK/LACORS Landlord Handbook

ANUK logo The Private Sector Housing Division brings you the new edition of the landlord handbook produced by ANUK/LACORS.

This ANUK/LGA Handbook replaces and updates the ANUK/LACORS Landlord Handbook and has proved popular as the basis for much professional development and training within the landlord community.

The Handbook contains the basic level of knowledge required for a landlord. It is also a model course intended for use by Accreditation Scheme Operators and Landlord Associations who wish to provide training for their landlords. It is intended to benefit a range of landlords and letting agents. It is not designed to be specific to any locality or for landlords of particular types of properties. It allows for the diversity that exists in the Private Rented Sector (PRS). It relates equally to property standards, management and landlord and tenancy matters. The emphasis can be adjusted according to the target audience.

This latest edition of the Handbook published in summer 2012 has been updated and amended to include:

- Welfare reform and the Local Housing Allowance
- Changes to tenancy deposit protection
- The section on HHSRS has been refined
- A template property inspection form has been added

It also includes advice on: LACORS logo

Pre-Tenancy
The Responsibilities and Liabilities of the Landlord/Letting Agent
Setting Up A Tenancy
During the Tenancy
Ending a Tenancy
