Summary
Fully Updated For 2024.
By the author of the UK's most popular property book, The Complete Guide To Property Investment.
Take a property, throw in a tenant and watch the money roll in. This seemingly simple formula has attracted nearly two million people in the UK to become landlords, but the reality is a whole lot more complicated.
Did you know, for example, that if you forget to provide a certain piece of paper you might be unable to evict a tenant – even if they don't pay the rent? Or that you could be fined for not checking your tenant's immigration status? And don't forget the inevitable broken boilers, mysterious leaks and various tenant complaints that always seem to happen at the most inconvenient time.
How To Be A Landlord is a straightforward guide to everything involved in letting and managing a property – whether you're an accidental landlord or an enthusiastic investor. In simple and entertaining language, it covers important steps like preparing the property to let, advertising for tenants, conducting viewings, doing all the paperwork, managing the tenancy, and dealing with any tricky situations that crop up (including the dreaded emergency repairs and evictions...). You'll learn:
• How to set yourself up for success when preparing a property to let
• Where to find the perfect tenants for your property
• The essential checks you must make to avoid a nightmare tenant
• Everything you need to do when setting up a tenancy to avoid problems later
• How to deal with the most common maintenance issues and repairs
• The proper legal process to follow when you have troublesome tenants
• Top tips from experienced landlords for how to look after your tenants – keeping them happy, your property safe, and the rent rolling in
Frequently updated and with contributions from over 50 experienced landlords, this is the most current and comprehensive book on the subject – and essential listening for anyone who wants a simple, profitable life as a landlord.

A useful guide but needs updating
This is a fine introduction in the practicalities of how to dot the I's and cross the T's in preparation for your first rental home, for which I found it extremely useful.
However, the regulatory framework is changing so fast for UK landlords that there are already some glaring omissions - noticeably the law on ECIR.
Also, it is too keen to promote its own YellowLetting service and fails to mention the how landlords can use OpenRent, which is already the largest letting agent in the UK, completely online and a disruptor to the high-street letting agent traditional model.

Informative read
comprehensive guide on being a landlord. As a small-scale landlord, it was an excellent read to fully appraise myself of the current legislation and best practice. I believe I will be more equipped to deal with a variety of situations going forward.

How to be a landlord
This is a very incisive, supportive and straight forward book on how to be a landlord. It gives support in relation to safety requirements, property necessities, discussion and if all communications break down the legal process of removing a tenant. Although geared towards a landlords perspective it gives a brilliant counter balance of looking at it from a tenants perspective. Brilliant read.

Landlord Bible
A highly informative book I’m sure I will be referencing this book for a long time to come it will become my landlord Bible. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is either thinking of becoming a landlord or anyone who is already a landlord and they just need to brush up on some information they might not be aware off.
Thank you for this book Rob it’s much appreciated

Another great book by Rob
The perfect sequel to the complete guide. Packed full of great advice to give you confidence when starting out as a landlord! Fantastic value for money when you think how much you would be prepared to pay an expert to spend over 5 hours sharing their hard earned knowledge and experience (which is how long it takes to listen to the audio book!) Thanks Rob.
