Test Valley Borough Council is inviting private landlords to a forum ahead of changes to property rental laws.

The forum, on Thursday, February 12, will cover the Government's Renters' Rights Act, which significantly alters the residential lettings landscape.

The session, happening at The Lights, in West Street, Andover, from 5pm to 7pm, aims to educate landlords about this new law and guide them on accommodating pets under the new rules.

Attendees will have the chance to interact with the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA), which will explain the implications of the Renters' Rights Act, and address any questions or concerns in a panel Q&A session.

The forum is part of the council's efforts to provide a space for sharing information, networking and collaboration.

By working closely with local landlords, the council plans to assist in adhering to new regulations and maintaining high service standards for tenants.

Cllr Kirsty North, portfolio holder for housing and environmental health at Test Valley Borough Council, said: "This forum is an opportunity for landlords to gain clarity, share experiences, and ensure they are fully prepared for the changes ahead."

The event is free, but due to limited space, it's recommended to book early via testvalley.gov.uk/formredirect/private-landlords-forum.
