Half-day technical workshop

Alternative dates:

Overview

The private rented sector (PRS) continues to play a vital role in housing across the UK, but ensuring compliance and protecting tenants’ rights remains a challenge for local authorities. With the introduction of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, significant changes have been made to strengthen tenant protections, enhance enforcement powers, and impose stricter penalties for non-compliance. Environmental Health Officers and PRS professionals are at the forefront of implementing these changes, making it essential to understand the Act in detail and its practical implications for day-to-day enforcement.

This half-day technical training workshop provides a comprehensive breakdown of the enforcement powers available in the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 and elements of the Act coming into force in May 2026. The workshop will equip attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to enforce the new legislation effectively.
