Independent Review of the Private-Rented Sector: implications for landlords
Dr Julie Rugg, from the Centre of Housing Policy at York University, will discuss the key recommendations made to government following her wide-ranging review of the sector.
Dr Rugg’s recommendations are due to be announced in late October 2008 – we are delighted that the NLA National Conference will be one of the first public events she will address, once her report has been made public.
