In this edition of Listen Up Landlords presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle (@BeadleBen) and Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_)  examine the recent Government announcements on anti-social behaviour and look at the latest advice when it comes to investing in property in turbulent economic times. Ben and Richard talk to landlord Alan Deeley, who used a Section 21 notice to regain possession of his property after suffering at the hands of anti-social tenants.

Catherine Behdad, of the NRLA advice team, looks at the issues concerning landlords calling our support line this month, with property developer and NRLA trainer Henry Davis joining the show to talk about investment.
