Landlords in Reading are being offered the chance to attend a free information event to help them keep up to date with changes in legislation which could affect their properties.

This year’s Landlord Information Evening takes place at the council’s civic offices on Thursday November 23 from 6pm to 9pm.

It is being hosted by the council in conjunction with the National Residential Landlords’ Association and the Rent Guarantee Scheme, and will provide key updates on legislation that landlords need to know, interactive workshops and a guest speaker to add valuable knowledge.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to speak to a variety of teams from Reading council, to find out how it works in partnership with the private sector to provide homes for Reading residents. 

Guest speaker Ben Beadle, chief executive of the NRLA, will address those present on the future of the private rented sector and the Renters Reform Bill.

There will be opportunity for networking, as well as free optional workshops run by council staff, including updates on fire safety in the private rented sector, energy efficiency in rented property, and the resources which are available to assist both landlords and tenants around low carbon initiatives. 

In addition, the Rent Guarantee Scheme will offer a tenancy toolkit session about how rent increases and notices in assured shorthold tenancies should be drafted and served.

All landlords are welcome. To book a place please email [email protected], call 0118 937 2233 or go to Regional Landlord Meetings | NRLA
