In this first episode of the LandlordZONE, we talk to lawyer turned self-managing landlord, Suzanne Smith, founder of The Independent Landlord blog and co-host of a weekly podcast called Good Landlording. Hosted by Nigel Lewis, Head of Content at LandlordZONE and Paul Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action, this podcast explores what it takes to be a successful landlord in the new regime. Whether you like it or not, the Renters’ Rights Bill is going to happen. So, how should landlords embrace the changes and get ready for it? We focus on the things that really matter to landlords, such as how they’ll be able to increase the rent in a fair way that balances their needs with those of their renters, and Suzanne draws on her own experience to offer advice for new landlords coming into the market.
