Landlords throughout the East Riding are being invited to business seminars which will explain recent changes to the law.
Two informal events are being held in Goole and Bridlington by East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s private sector housing team as part of the council’s commitment to working in partnership with private landlords and promoting responsible letting.
The seminars will provide information about issues including imminent housing benefit changes and amendments to legislation around the rental of properties.
Those taking part will also hear from a local landlord about best practice and the use of tenant guarantors.
The event in Goole will also include a update presentation on the additional licensing scheme which has recently been introduced in the town, while those who attend the event in Bridlington will be able to discuss the level of fire precautions acceptable in properties.
Sarah Horner, the council’s landlord liaison officer, has helped to organise the events. She said: “The seminars will be a useful opportunity for private landlords to put their questions to us and share their ideas in a relaxed and informal setting.”
The first seminar will be held on Thursday, 17 March, in the Waterfront Suite at Goole Leisure Centre, while the second will be held on Monday, 28 March, in the Harbour Suite at The Spa Bridlington.
Both events will take place between 6pm and 8.30pm.
For more information or to book a place on either seminar please email private.sector.housing@eastriding.gov.uk stating which you would like to attend as well as your name, address and contact phone number or call the private sector housing team on (01482) 396301 selecting option 2.
