Letting

An increasing number of charities are considering becoming landlords.  Whether it’s a way to generate income from surplus space – or an innovative way of supporting start up organisations – there are real benefits to be achieved for the charity and its tenants. Landlords make money either through making a profit on rents charged to tenants, or through owning a building which increases in value over time.

Being a landlord can range from renting a couple of spare desks in your office to establishing dedicated serviced office accommodation.  

This part of the website aims to provide guidance for organisations around:

• things to consider: can you become a landlord?  What is your vision?  What is the role of a landlord?
• the costs and charges associated with being a landlord
• finding and managing tenants
• different types of landlord-tenant agreements and how to put them together
• the distribution of responsibilities at the end of a lease
