Background
This one-day training course is designed to equip landlords and property managers with essential knowledge and practical guidance on managing dampness and condensation and staying compliant with recent legislative changes in the private rented sector (PRS).
The course will first address dampness and condensation, which are common health hazards in rental properties. It will explore how the building’s structure and occupant lifestyle can contribute to these issues, especially in the PRS. Attendees will learn to identify causes of dampness and condensation, offer practical advice to tenants, and understand actionable steps landlords can take to prevent complaints or legal complications related to these issues.
In addition, the course will cover recent and upcoming regulatory changes, including the Renters’ Rights Bill, which aims to enhance tenant protections, eliminate Section 21 'no-fault' evictions, and improve tenant security. Other topics will include Electrical Safety Regulations, updated fire safety standards for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO), the Tenant Fee Ban, and Breathing Space Procedures for tenants in debt. With an emphasis on practical application, this training will ensure that landlords are well-prepared to navigate these regulations and maintain compliant, safe rental properties.
By the end of the day, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of property condition management and legislative compliance, which will support positive landlord-tenant relationships in the PRS.
