The information available from each tab on the left is intended to help landlords or potential landlords who wish to know more about certain aspects of tenancies and should not be considered as a substitute for legal advice.

If you want detailed advice, the Council's Housing Options Service will be pleased to help or you can contact a solicitor who specialises in property law.

If you own a property and are thinking of renting it out, the information here should serve as a guide to the basic principles of tenancies. If you are already operating as a private landlord, the useful links will help you to gain information on particular aspects of property letting.
