WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
There were some points in the guide that I didn't know about and now AVENUE take that worry off my mind about keeping up to date with legislation.
The guide is free - download it - I use it as a reference and I found the AVENUE girls really helpful.
AVENUE have taken over the management of my properties and they have already spotted issues that I should have picked up on.
I saw the first time landlord guide on Facebook and didn't think I would need it but I was wrong - I now use AVENUE to manage my houses.
There is so much legislation, I didn't know where to start and that's one of the reasons why I'm using AVENUE.
I download the guide and I found it really useful - It made me realise how easy it is to miss important steps.
What happens if I get it wrong?
Here's a few examples...
What happens if I am not compliant

Failure to register or providing false or misleading information on your Rent Smart Wales registration is an offence which could lead to:
-
A fixed penalty notice of up to £150

Prosecution and unlimited fines

Gas Safety Certificate:
As a landlord you have duties under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to arrange maintenance by a Gas Safe registered engineer for all pipe work, appliances and flues, which you own and have provided for use.
