A council’s housing team is inviting local landlords to attend its first landlord’s forum. 

This event is free to attend and will take place at Eastleigh House on August 12 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

Eastleigh council in Hampshire says it’s “passionate about working in partnership with landlords to ensure the delivery of sustainable tenancies for both landlords and tenants.”

And it adds that it wants to listen to and understand the needs of landlords, their ideas and views. 

The landlord forum will provide landlords with “helpful insights regarding the latest development of the Private Rented Sector project, the customer journey and how to support vulnerable residents, tenancy management and housing standards.”

A spokesperson says: “We know that private landlords play a fundamental role in the local housing sector, not just as property providers, but as pivotal contributors to our communities.

“The council is really keen to work with our local landlords. We can offer help and support to them in navigating the complex web of regulations and responsibilities that come with being a landlord and we hope plenty will be able to come along to our Forum event.”
