Landlord spam emails

Spam email is annoying.

Every now again we get someone accusing us of sending spam email, which always feels a bit rich, considering we've just provided them a service that hands out free solicitor prepared tenancy agreements and free property management software.  A relevant weekly email newsletter, with a clear unsubscribe link at the top and bottom of the email, and a reminder email linked to the tenancy which again has a clear unsubscribe button. If that's spam then bring on the fritters.

What we don't do is share or sell on any user contact details unlike a lot of other landlord and property sites. I find myself getting a whole bunch of emails offering me discounted foreign property that I never subscribed to or have even heard of, be careful what you sign up for.

So if you are wondering where they are coming from, they are nothing to do with us, they're thanks to the likes of the people below who kindly sent me through this offer, that I shan't be partaking in.

As I've already said, I find spam very annoying, as you probably do too.
