Park home owners who want to let a home they own, including people who have moved or inherited one and landlords with a small portfolio.

A tenant-find fee, a monthly management fee as a percentage of rent, or both. Income grows as you add homes to manage each month.

• Clear communication with owners and tenants
• Organised paperwork and record keeping
• Marketing and local networking
• Calm handling of repairs and disputes

• Many park sites restrict or ban letting under their rules or site licence, so always check the written agreement and get the site owner's consent where needed
• Park home law differs across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so check which rules apply where you work
• In England there is no general licence for letting agents, but you generally need to join a government-approved redress scheme, and if you hold client money you may need client money protection, so check the current requirements
• Registration or licensing may apply in some nations: in Wales check Rent Smart Wales, and in Scotland check the letting agent register. Check the position in Northern Ireland too
• Check the tenant fees rules, deposit protection requirements and whether HMRC anti-money laundering supervision registration applies to you
• Arrange professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and check whether safety checks (gas, electrical, smoke alarms) apply to the homes you let
• Check your tenancy or mortgage terms, or ask your council, if you run the business from home
