Compliance & Safeguarding Assessment
The Landlord Risk Audit aims to safeguard you from tenants suing you; going to a rental tribunal; trying to halt eviction; or complaining to the local Housing Officer in order to try to get their rent reduced.
The audit comprises an online questionnaire and a comprehensive report that is based on your answers. The report identifies those areas that need the most urgent attention using a simple traffic light system. Accompanying red or amber warnings are Recommended Actions which will help you resolve the specific issues identified.
Acting on the report will help you resolve not only immediate issues but also to set up systems that will continue to safeguard you in the future and will also help you pass your next Council HMO Licensing Inspection.
