Session Overview

As local authority officers responsible for managing private rented housing, we understand that you may have concerns about landlords potentially leaving the market, which could exacerbate homelessness in your area.

This event will provide you with the latest insights on how the Renters’ Rights Bill may affect your role, and more importantly, what you can do now to prepare and mitigate any adverse effects. We’ll explore practical strategies, share best practices, and highlight the essential steps to ensure that your services remain robust in the face of these changes.

What you can expect from this session:

• Ideas on implementing key measures to protect against homelessness.
• Insights into how other local authorities are responding to the challenges posed by the Renters' Rights Bill.
• A chance to discuss your concerns with peers in the field.

This is a unique opportunity to get ahead of the curve and ensure your local authority is prepared for the evolving landscape of private rented housing.
