New dates added as NRLA Renters’ Rights course sells out

Extra dates have been added for our new Renters’ Rights course, after training sessions sold out in record time.

The new dates have been added to meet the unprecedented demand after our award-winning Training Academy released details of the first sessions last week.

Bookings are now open for new dates in February, with a special early bird rate for members.

The Renters’ Rights Bill, currently making its way through Parliament, promises the biggest changes to the private rented sector in a generation, with a raft of legislation change on the cards.

This includes the loss of section 21 repossession rights, the abolition of fixed term tenancies, the introduction of a new Decent Homes Standard and digital PRS database, as well as limits to rent increases.

You could face fines or criminal prosecution for certain breaches, meaning it is vital you are up to speed with your responsibilities once the Bill receives Royal Assent.

While the detail of the Bill is being fine-tuned, our expert NRLA trainers are already developing content needed to support landlords through the transition period, with our policy team also working to create the essential forms and documentation that will be needed once the Bill has been passed and an implementation date announced.

The suggestion, at present is that this will be in the early part of next year.

What does the course involve?

The new course will include:

  • A comprehensive overview of the Renters' Rights Bill and its importance.
  • Details of key legal changes and compliance requirements for landlords.
  • Information on tenant rights and enhanced protections under the new law.
  • Landlord obligations, what has changed and how to stay compliant.
  • Process changes following the removal of Section 21
  • Practical guidance on ensuring legal compliance and avoiding penalties.

Dates and times

Courses will be delivered via our eClassroom platform, virtually, in real time, by one of our expert trainers, with Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points available. 

Those who book ahead of time can benefit from our £55 early bird offer for members.

There are also plans to offer face-to-face classroom training and eLearning options in due course.
