Listen to the latest episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords

In the latest episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords, presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle and Richard Blanco discuss the issue of pet friendly lets, and look ahead to Party Conference season, and the work the NRLA will be doing to represent landlords.

We welcome Ben Parker, public affairs manager at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, to discuss the challenges of pet friendly letting – as well as potential solutions – in light of the Government’s plans for rental reform. He is joined by Frances Boyt of ARLA Propertymark, who gives the agents’ view on the issue, and shines a light on what they can see happening on the ground.

Joseph Taylor of the Landlord Support Team joins us for our regular update on the hot topics on the advice line, and, as conference season looms, we ask what might we might see in the major political parties’ manifestos. NRLA deputy policy director Meera Chindooroy talks about what's likely to be in there, and the work the association will be doing to represent members at both the Conservative and Labour Party events.
