Ownership vs Control in Assured Shorthold Tenancies What Every Landlord Needs to Know
Many landlords believe that owning a property means they have full control over it. The reality is quite different once an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) begins. The legal framework and tenancy agreements shift much of the operational control to tenants, limiting what landlords can do during the tenancy. With upcoming rental reforms, landlords’ control will reduce even further. Understanding this distinction between ownership and control is essential for landlords to manage

Understanding the 90-Day Rule for Short-Lets in London and Overlooked Letting Strategies
London’s short-let market often confuses landlords, especially when it comes to the 90-day rule. Many assume this rule means short-term letting is impossible or too risky in the capital. Others try to work around it without fully understanding how it applies, which can lead to legal trouble. The truth is more complex. The 90-day rule is real and enforceable, but it does not cover every nightly-priced letting model. This distinction is where many landlords miss opportunities.
