If a council manages my buy-to-let, what happens to rental income and property maintenance responsibilities?
Quick Answer
When a council manages your buy-to-let, they typically become your tenant, guaranteeing rent and often taking on full property maintenance, including repairs and ensuring regulatory compliance. This simplifies management, but you trade potential higher market rents for assured income and reduced landlord liabilities.
About This Topic
Council property management schemes offer landlords guaranteed rental income and delegated maintenance. From April 2025, they mitigate Council Tax premiums and simplify landlord responsibilities.
