Books by C. J. Haliburton

HMO landlords provide low-cost flexible housing desperately needed by society, often to vulnerable tenants. However, they are rarely given help or support by the authorities, and the law is often vigorously enforced against them. Little is said about the damage some tenants cause to property, problems with rent arrears and eviction of bad tenants. This book is for the brave souls who dare to provide HMO housing and need a guide to the system. It shows you how to stand up to councils that try to stop you providing good quality HMO accommodation.
