Mayor of Greater Manchester to speak on rented housing

Residential Landlords Association

The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, will address the Residential Landlords Association’s Future Renting North conference in Manchester next month.

Mr Burnham vowed to tackle the housing crisis in the region as one of his key election promises and has also spoken of plans to create a Good Landlord Scheme to ‘better regulate private rented sector landlords’.

He will be the headline speaker as part of a programme featuring a range of expert speakers who will address delegates on issues including the Housing and Planning Act, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, welfare reform and tax, with breakout sessions on topics ranging from architectural design to property tech.

The conference will be held at the Concorde Conference Centre in Manchester, with delegates also given the opportunity to take a free tour of the iconic aircraft.
