Landlord's Guide to Fair Tenant Selection and Protection from Discrimination Claims

Greater London Properties have put together a comprehensive Guide to Bulletproof Tenant Selection which is becoming more essential in the upcoming months - read on

The rules of the rental game in Central London are changing fast. With each new regulation raising the stakes for landlords, selecting tenants has become a legal minefield that requires expert navigation. At Greater London Properties, we're seeing landlords increasingly caught between maintaining high standards and staying on the right side of the law.

The New Rental Landscape: What's at Stake
The Equality Act 2010 has transformed tenant selection into a process that demands precision, documentation, and unwavering consistency. One misstep can cost you thousands in legal fees and endless sleepless nights.

Balancing Rights and Responsibilities
Your right to choose reliable tenants remains intact, but the path to making that choice has narrowed. Every decision must be justified, every rejection documented, and every process standardized. Right to Rent checks, selection criteria, and communication all need to stand up to legal scrutiny.

Your Safety Net: Professional Management
This is where Greater London Properties' Platinum Property Management Service comes into its own. We have developed bulletproof systems for tenant selection that protect both you and your investment.

Our team handles everything:

  • Expert tenant vetting that stands up to legal scrutiny
  • Watertight documentation of every decision
  • Professional handling of all sensitive situations
  • Complete compliance with latest regulations
  • Regular updates on legislative changes

Why Risk It?
When legal claims can cost upwards of £30,000, our management fee is a logical choice - take a look at our Property Management Calculator to work out how much you would be paying per week for our Platinum Package. We have designed this so you can be confident knowing that your investment is protected by experts who live and breathe property management.

Greater London Properties' Platinum Property Management Service offers you the freedom to enjoy the benefits of your investment without the constant worry of compliance.
