Unauthorised subletting can be a huge problem for landlords, as it can not only cause damage to their valuable property investments but also result in legal and financial issues, breaching the terms of your mortgage and invalidating your insurance. In certain cases, it may even result in fines and prison sentences. This means you need to take every step to protect yourself from this eventuality.

New research from the National Landlords Association (NLA) has revealed that almost half of UK tenants who sublet are doing so without the permission of their landlord. One of the reasons for this escalating problem is that many landlords simply do not have the time to keep a close eye on their properties and manage them effectively, which can result in a loss of control over their investments and leave them unaware of what their tenants are doing.

It is crucial that rental properties are well managed and monitored so you can be certain that the residents are abiding by the terms of their tenancy agreement. This is why the services of a professional management company are so valuable.
