The definition of “landlord” under Housing Act 1988 is:
Where rents are paid to isn’t a factor in determining the landlord.
We can’t just think of all legislation right now and their definitions but for example, in the Housing Act 2004 (which governs things like housing standards), there are further definitions such as “person in control” or “manager”. These are defined by who is receiving the rent from the occupiers. Therefore other things could be problematic (but it’s hard to come with examples without a scenario being provided).
You could have the rent paid to you then you pay into the company as that would tidy things up.
Alternatively, it might be possible for you to rent the property to the company at a low rent and then the company be both landlord and recipient of rents. That too could tidy it up.
From a tax perspective, you should seek advice from your accountant. We don’t know how HMRC would view such an arrangement.
