HMOLandlady
How a novice landlady found herself teaching complete strangers how to share the kitchen nicely! HMO Landlady fell into the world of letting houses out on a room by room basis back in 2007. Having made lots of mistakes, unintentionally fallen foul of the law on the odd occasion, been taken for a complete ride by some tenants and wondered what the hell she was doing most the time, she balances being the main carer of 3 children with the ongoing needs of 15 tenants across 3 houses. The divide is often blurred, but the skill set remains the same.
