Suzanne Smith … Renters Rights Under Labour

Landlord | Blogger | Podcaster | Former General Counsel

Suzanne Smith is a lawyer turned self-managing landlord with a portfolio of houses in Maidstone, Kent.

She came to property investing fairly late when she “retired” as a corporate lawyer at the age of 51, after working for 25 years in senior in-house legal roles for multinational biotech companies.

Suzanne started to share what she was learning as a landlord on her Instagram account, @indie_landlord, with practical reels that also drew on her experience and training as a lawyer.

This led to her setting up her blog, The Independent Landlord, in August 2022, which provides reliable, free content on all aspects of being a landlord. It’s grown to be one of the biggest blogs for landlords, with thousands of subscribers to her weekly newsletter.

She co-hosts a new weekly podcast called Good Landlording with Richard Jackson, a landlord with a large portfolio who runs the property management software, Alphaletz.

Suzanne is also an independent member of Propertymark’s disciplinary tribunal.
