Landlords across the Great Yarmouth borough have been invited attend a forum designed to hear from those in the rental sector.
The event is being organised by Great Yarmouth Borough Council and takes place in the Assembly Room at the Town Hall on Tuesday, November 26. All landlords are welcome.
Councillor Paul Wells, the borough council’s portfolio holder for environment and sustainability, licensing and waste, said: ‘’We want to provide a really good opportunity for people to meet other landlords, agents and council staff.
‘’We are keen to hear about the issues which are important to landlords and want to offer support and advice about important legislative and policy changes that might be on the horizon.’’
Councillor Trevor Wainwright, leader of the Labour group at the borough council, said: ‘’The event will take a collaborative approach and we want to ensure all views are heard.
“It is crucial we engage with landlords as we look to share our vision for the borough and hope people will work alongside us on a range of shared objectives.’’
A representative from The National Residential Landlords will also be at the forum to speak to attendees.
Among the topics on the agenda for the evening are legal and policy updates; dispelling myths around the council’s Housing and Homelessness Strategy; and whether there is a future for selective licensing.
The scheme, which ended in January this year, aimed to tackle poor housing, antisocial behaviour, and crime in Nelson Ward.
It required landlords of most privately rented housing to be licensed and meet conditions around health and safety standards.
Details around support for private rented sector landlords will also be available and people will have the opportunity to share their thoughts about issues they feel important.
The event starts at 6.30pm and runs until 8pm and landlords interested in attending can find out more here: https://myaccount.great-yarmouth.gov.uk/landlord-forum-registration
