Humber Landlord Conference and Exhibition
The Humber Housing Partnership is calling all private landlords in the Humber area to attend a free conference on Wednesday 29th June.
The conference will be taking place at The Ropewalk, Barton upon Humber, from 9.30am to 4.45pm.
The event is part of the Humber Housing Partnership’s commitment to working with private landlords and promoting responsible letting.
The four sub-regional authorities are holding the conference and there are places available to landlords who own properties in the Humber area.
This is a unique opportunity for landlords to hear guest speakers from the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and the Department of Work and Pensions. They will discuss a range of issues such as, the local housing allowance, housing benefit changes and how national policy impacts on the private rented sector across the Humber area.
There will also be speakers from the local and national landlord-related organisations.
The conference will include a number of informative workshops covering important areas such as inventories, debt enforcement, and fire safety risk assessments. As well as other subjects that all landlords need to know about, no matter how many properties they rent out.

A spokesperson for the Humber Housing Partnership said:
“We recognise that private rented housing is playing an increased role in meeting housing needs across the Humber area and we are keen to provide opportunities to help landlords build on their knowledge and skills and improve the quality of private rented property in the area.
“This conference and exhibition is aimed at anyone who rents out a property and will provide them with the opportunity to learn about the many regulations they have to comply with and how to deal with problematic tenancies.”
Cllr Nigel Sherwood, cabinet member for Highways and Neighbourhoods, said:
“This is a great opportunity for landlords that own properties in the Humber area. They can take part in a range of workshops and be informed about everything they need to know about renting property.
“The conference is supported by an exhibition of organisations and businesses involved in the private rented sector.
“It is advised you book early on the conference, as places are limited.”
