It's time for landlords to get any leaves cleared

This morning I have been clearing up leaves at one of my rental properties - bags and bags of cold damp leaves, swept up from the pathways, pulled out from drains and scooped out from the gutters.

Despite an icy rain shower I quite enjoyed it.

If you haven't cleared away your leaves yet, it'll be worth sorting it this weekend or getting someone over to do it.

The last thing you want is a tenant slipping on the ice caused by a leaf blocked drain and making a claim on your landlord insurance.

So gloves on, it's that time of year to get the rake out.
