This is the trailer for the Good Landlording podcast, co-hosted and co-founded by Suzanne Smith of The Independent Landlord and Richard Jackson from Alphaletz.







Good Landlording is a new weekly podcast that comes out every Wednesday, specifically for landlords and people who want to be landlords in England. It is also helpful for property investors, housing providers and property businesses who want to understand the issues that matter to landlords.







The trailer for Good Landlording launched on 3rd April. The first podcast episode was released on Wednesday 10 April and was about the most important topic for any business: our customers. For landlords, that's our renters.

What does the new Good Landlording podcast cover?







Each week we take a different challenge that landlords face, and discuss how to tackle it. Practical topics that really matter to landlords, and not just moaning about the state of the private rented sector.







We're starting with the topics that members of The Independent Landlord Community private Facebook group suggested, including the following:









How to pick good letting agents?







How to self-manage?







What to do about rent increases?







How to tackle damp and mould?







What newbie landlords need to know?







How to scale your business as a landlord efficiently?







How to handle rent arrears?







What makes a good tenant?







How to choose good tenants?







How to be a good landlord?

















We'll also do regular updates on new legislation, including the Renters Reform Bill, and whatever a new government brings us. This is Suzanne Smith's speciality as she worked as a solicitor for 25 years before becoming a landlord.
