Since COVID, many charities have found themselves with extra space and have become landlords - sometimes by accident! But what could go wrong?

In this discussion, we explore the key questions every charity should ask before letting out space.

Key topics:

- Understanding legal constraints: What rules and restrictions could impact your ability to rent out space?

- Leases and subletting: How does your lease affect your ability to share or sublet space?

- Hotdesking and shared spaces: What are the risks, and how do you manage them effectively?

- Covering costs and avoiding pitfalls: How can you ensure financial sustainability as a landlord?

- Choosing the right person for the role: Who in your charity should take on the responsibility of managing tenants?

Being a landlord isn’t just about extra income - it comes with responsibilities, potential conflicts, and legal complexities. Tune in to get practical insights and expert advice to help you navigate the challenges and make informed decisions.
