Why Letting Agents Should Monitor Company Registrations at Managed Properties

When a tenant registers a company at a rental property without consent, it can expose landlords to legal and financial risks. As a letting agent, it’s your responsibility to help your clients avoid such issues, which may include:

• Breach of lease terms, especially if business use is prohibited.
• Invalidation of property insurance if the premises are used for business purposes.
• Potential fines or penalties for breaching local planning regulations.
• Unforeseen tax implications for the landlord.
• Liability risks for the landlord due to the tenant's business activities.
