👋 Hello again — I’m Mahara, founder of My Landlord Cares Ltd — a two-time, award-winning ethical letting agency proudly based in South Yorkshire 🏆🏆
As we step into 2026, it feels like the right moment to properly re-introduce myself — and to remind people why this business exists.
Why My Landlord Cares Was Created
This business was born out of frustration.
Frustration that:
- Tenants were treated like numbers
- Landlords were told, “This is just how lettings works.”
- Care and accountability were seen as optional extras
As a landlord myself, with a background in local government and the charity sector, I knew something important:
👉 Care, structure, and accountability can coexist with private renting.
So instead of complaining about the system, I built a different model.
What We Stand for at My Landlord Cares
At My Landlord Cares, we don’t believe in quick fixes or transactional property management.
We focus on:
🏠 Supporting tenants, not sidelining them
📊 Helping landlords achieve stability, not churn
🤝 Building long-term relationships, not short-term solutions
💛 Embedding ethics into everyday practice, not just policies

The Results of Doing Things Differently
That people-first approach has led to:
✨ Stronger, more sustainable tenancies
✨ Reduced voids and fewer disputes
✨ Trust on both sides of the tenancy
✨ And national recognition — twice
Because when housing is managed properly, everyone benefits.
Lettings Doesn’t Have to Be Combative
One of the biggest myths in the private rented sector is that landlords and tenants must be at odds.
They don’t.
Lettings can be:
- Collaborative
- Human
- Fair
- Transparent
And still commercially viable.
We see this every day in the homes we manage.
