Invitation to Free Landlord Information Evening
- Landlord Information Evening will take place on Wednesday 29 October
- Property landlords are invited to sign up for the free event
- Attendees will be able to find lots of important information, and about the Rent Guarantee Scheme
PROPERTY LANDLORDS are being invited to a free event being held at the Civic Offices later this month to hear about the benefits of working with the Council.
The Landlord Information evening on Wednesday 29 October is being hosted by the Council’s Rent Guarantee Scheme, in partnership with the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA).
Guests will have the opportunity to speak to a range of teams from the Council, and hear about how it works in partnership with the private sector to provide homes for Reading residents, and the incentives available to landlords who sign up for the Rent Guarantee Scheme.
Special guest speakers include NRLA Regional Engagement Executive James Gladwin who will be speaking about the upcoming Renter’s Rights Bill and the future of the private rented sector.
There will also be a session on the key issue of how to prevent and tackle damp and mould, led by Michael Prior from Safeguard Europe.
Matt Yeo, Reading’s Lead Councillor for Housing, will open the event and said:
“The Council has worked closely with Reading landlords for many years. We’re working on our own programme of building affordable new homes for residents, but just as important is taking a leading role in ensuring that there are not only opportunities for residents in the private rental sector, but that we help drive standards up in this area to provide the high quality housing that everyone deserves.
“Our Landlord Information Evening is a great way to ensure those with properties to rent in Reading can learn about our Rent Guarantee Scheme and the benefits it offers, as well as all the valuable help and support that our other Council teams can offer to help them manage their properties better for tenants, so that everyone wins. We look forward to meeting as many landlords as possible on 29 October”.
The Landlord Information Evening on 29 October will open at 6pm with presentations starting at 6.30pm. All landlords are welcome. To book a place please use this link, email rgs@reading.gov.uk or call 0118 937 2233.
