Do you find that staying to top of property safety checks is a time consuming and often neglected process? By not addressing such tasks you could be leaving yourself, and your landlords, at risk to prosecution in cases where poorly maintained equipment could result in an injury or fatality to tenants renting properties owned or managed by you.
The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) is warning landlords about potentially unsafe gas installations - particularly in rented properties. The warning comes after a recent case in which a lettings business in Burton-on-Trent was fined £40,000 for gas safety offences stemming from the fatality of a single man living alone.
RentPro can help you stay on top of safety checks. With RentPro lettings management software, you can define any safety check you want against a property and subsequently be notified when these checks are due to take place, thus helping to ensure that oversights don’t occur.
To find out more about this, and a host of additional benefits RentPro can bring to your lettings business, take the RentPro product tour.

On 7th April 2008 the Local Housing Allowance (LHA) was introduced into the UK to replace Housing Benefit (HB).
LHA is based on the area in which the tenant lives, the number of occupiers in the property and household size. Another interesting difference between LHA and HB, is that with the new scheme, if the determined LHA rate is higher than the rent agreed with the landlord / letting agency, then the tenant can keep any excess benefit up to a maximum of £15 / week.
