Closer links forged with landlords

CLOSER LINKS FORGED WITH LANDLORDS

Closer links between landlords and the district councils of Richmondshire and Hambleton are being forged.

A special ‘fair’ takes place later this month – the first of its kind in the two districts.

It is the first step towards establishing closer links with private sector landlords in both areas - and an opportunity for officers from the authority’s housing, benefits and environmental health sections to offer advice and support to landlords.

The Landlords Fair on March 22 which has been organised by the councils in conjunction with the National Landlords Association (NLA) will also feature a series of workshops:

• Local Housing Allowance and overview of Housing Benefits
• Landlord Development with the NLA
• Safety Checks for Tenanted Properties
• Landlord Tax Issues
• Envirovent – controlling dampness and mould growth in rented properties

Organisations and local companies will have stalls at the fair – including the Fire Service, Landlords Insurance Providers, Energy Saving Trust, Netrent, Envirovent, Health and Safety Executive and Cost-Co.

The fair takes place at the Hambleton Forum in Northallerton from 2.30 - 4.30pm and from 5.30 - 7.30pm.  It is free to all local landlords.   Free refreshments will be provided.
