I am pleased to announce the opening of the Lodger Landlord Shop!  This is a separate part of the site where you can purchase documents, forms and letters.

At present the only items there are a lodger agreement and a letter of authority.  Although these are arguably two of the most important documents you will need.

Lodger Agreement: As discussed on Day 15 a lodger agreement is important to keep a record of what was agreed with your lodger and to set out clearly the terms and conditions of the contract made.

Housing Benefit letter of authority: This is for landlords with lodgers on benefit.  The letter needs to be signed by the lodger and sent to the benefit office, otherwise they will refuse to speak to you about your lodgers benefit application, citing the Data Protection Act.  Even though the application is for your rent!

All our forms and documents are electronic – we do not sell any printed forms by post.  Payment is via pay pal, and then you will then be directed to a page where you can download the form that you have bought.  Simple!

An additional feature is that if we carry out any upgrades to a form within 12 months of the date you bought it, we will let you have the new version free of charge.   All you  need to do is contact us with details of your purchase and we will either email the form to you, or send you a link to where it can be downloaded.

I will be drafting more documents for the shop and loading them up in due course.  If there is anything you would particularly like, please do let me know.
