text: Landlord Law Guides Advice | Access Legal
  There's more to being a private landlord than just return on investment. There are rules, regulations, duties and legal obligations that you may not have considered, but which must be followed. As a landlord you have legally imposed and unavoidable responsibilities and duties to prevent tenants being injured and to protect yourself from possible legal action that could result in substantial fines or even a prison sentence.
  Arguably no other sector of public life is as heavily regulated as the landlord-tenant relationship. A raft of new duties for landlords have been introduced over the past year or so: additional documents that must now be part of the prescribed information, the requirement to install working smoke and carbon monoxide (CO1) alarms and the mandatory duty for landlords, no matter how small their rental portfolio may be, to undertake 'right to rent' checks confirming the immigration and residency status of potential tenants as well as the demands of local authority registration and licensing schemes.
