Concept to Risk to Memory to Check-up

How to study your four-unit route

Keep England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland rules coherent: one learner takes one national law variant and its matching lettings variant, not every variant together.

Core concepts

Concept 1

Reconcile the agreement or contract, demands, receipts, credits, fees and remittances before characterising an account.

Exam cue: Build a dated ledger and notice record before taking action.

Concept 2

Client-money handling requires segregation, authorisation, reconciliation, reporting and correction under the applicable obligations.

Exam cue: Use occupation-contract terminology and process for Wales and route-correct tenancy rules elsewhere.

Concept 3

Arrears management should be accurate, proportionate and coordinated with support, landlord instruction and any possession strategy.

Concept 4

Rent increases, changes, fees and interest require the route-correct contractual or statutory process and evidence of notice.
