As a landlord there are certain things you must do to comply with the law. However, there's a big difference between best practice and the minimum that's legally required.
With this in mind a guide to best practice for landlords has been published by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This cross-industry Private Rented Sector Code of Practice promotes best practice in the letting and management of housing in England. Its three main aims are to ensure:
- That good quality homes are available for rent;
- Consistent and high standards of property management;
- Consumer choice.
