The Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA) has announced the launch of a new legal helpline available to all members.
The helpline will be available to members five days a week, between the hours of 10am and 5pm. This comes as an additional benefit to members at no extra cost.
The helpline, which is provided by Dutton Gregory Solicitors, will be run by 11 legally trained staff, to help ARLA members with all landlord and tenant enquiries, as well as immigration and general business law.
Valerie Bannister, president of ARLA, said: “We are thrilled to be able to provide this extra benefit to members. Legal advice can be a costly burden to many letting agents, even when the query may be resolved with a small piece of advice. We hope this provides extra peace of mind for all our members that help is on hand when they need it.”
Attendees at the ARLA conference, where Alastair Campbell was the keynote speaker, also witnessed a lively debate on the private rented sector (PRS) and viewed exclusive video messages from housing minister Brandon Lewis, Liberal Democrat’s housing spokesman Stephen Williams, and shadow housing minister, Emma Reynolds on their views of how they think the private rented sector should develop over the next parliament.
“With the General Election only a few weeks away, the conference provided an essential platform for industry figures to engage in a thoughtful and constructive debate about the future of the private rented sector. We were delighted with the calibre of audience, speakers and guests which resulted in another highly successful conference,” said Bannister.
