Dealing with repairs and ensuring homes are healthy and safe environments for our tenants is one of the key cornerstones of managing residential property. Yet there is a myriad of obligations placed on landlords from several pieces of legislation.
While this online course focuses on the legislation in England and Wales, the underlying health and safety duties are broadly consistent across the UK and Ireland.
