A question to landlords out there…my tenant has asked me for a new copy of the tenancy agreement that includes my address. I am quite a private person and would prefer not to share my personal address. What do other landlords do? I like the tenant and we have a good relationship but I do value my privacy. ---

It is a legal requirement for the LL to provide their address for the serving of notices. My understanding is that you can provide an email address although I believe you should also provide a physical address. If you use an agent it can also be the agents place of business. ---

Look up Section 48 Notices under The Landlord and tenant act 1987 ---

Be wary Colin, I had one round for tea, accepted his plea for some casual labour work, he jumped through a ceiling and broke his back and when he moved out 15 months later, I received a no win no fee claim for compensation. That cup of tea cost me £19,000…! Happy New Year Colin and keep up the communication as I always enjoy your comments. ---

I believe it is a legal requirement and like you I am private however just think of the information a tenant has to provide us with. There has to be trust in both sides. ---

Thank you. Yes you are right. Tenants do have to provide much more intrusive information. ---

What address have you used on the tenancy agreement. Happy to be corrected, but I thought you had to give an address for the TA to be valid. ---

It’s only a legal requirement for the purposes of serving notices you could use a PO Box number or Buck house! ---

Hi Nemo, likewise, your name/address is in the public domain on the ICO website (if you’re reg’d, as a Data Controller, as is required for processing tenant’s personal data). Although the Reg’n Ref. is required to do a search, so Joe Public can’t just search your details as a fishing exercise. ---

15 seconds with Google provides this info: Under section 48 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987, a landlord of a residential tenancy is required to provide their tenant with their name and with an address (which **must be in England or Wales** ) where they can serve any notices on the landlord. An email address does not meet this criterion so you have to find a way around this. Agent perhaps? ---
