Private Rented SectorConference 2015
#PRSFuture
This conference is for those who want to know what changes we need to make locally to create a bigger and better working private rented sector.
It will be of interest to:• environmental health officers• housing academics• housing professionals• landlords• letting agents• politicians and policy makers• regeneration officers• tenants
Who should attend?
This one-day conference will open up debate on how to ensure the Northern Ireland private rented sector is fit for the future.
As part of the Housing Strategy 2012-2017, Government has committed to “ensuring access to decent, affordable, sustainable homes across all tenures”. Within the private rented sector, this means reviewing and improving standards, supply and regulation.
The coming year will be a particularly crucial time for the future of the sector, with the Department for Social Development undertaking a review aimed at enhancing renting privately.
This event provides a great opportunity for housing professionals to network and engage and to learn more about the challenges and opportunities facing NI’s private rented sector.
