Landlord Law HMO Day – 19th August

A new virtual training event for HMO landlords from Landlord Law: book your place here

Are you an HMO landlord?  Or do you work with HMO landlords or manage an HMO property?

If so, you may be interested in a new (virtual) event from Landlord Law on 19 August 2020 – an ‘HMO Day’ – a training event focusing on law and practice relating to houses in multiple occupation.

The course which is delivered online, will consist of six talks from various HMO experts (including two barristers and two solicitors) followed by a Q&A session with all the speakers to allow you a chance to put your questions. Rather like ‘Question Time’ on radio 4.

The program for the day:

9.00 am Introduction: Tessa Shepperson, Landlord Law, followed by

9.05 am – 10.00 am: Of labyrinths and legislation – what exactly are HMOs under the Housing Act 2004, and when do they require a licence? Dean Underwood, Cornerstone Barristers
