Debate — The future of renting
Anyone following the twists and turns of the Private Rented Sector in recent years will know that letting agents, landlords and tenants are all subject to change brought about by political will, party manifestos and ministerial speeches.

In this roundtable discussion chaired by Julian Worricker, we have gathered key leading figures to analyse progress so far and likely next steps for issues including Section 21, lifetime deposits and the Renters’ Reform agenda.

Panel:
Ben Beadle – Chief Executive Officer, NRLA
Timothy Douglas – Policy and Campaigns Manager, Propertymark
Alicia Kennedy (Baroness) – Director, Generation Rent

What works?
Whether you are an agency Director trying to find staff, or a Property Manager covering a larger number of properties than previously, you are probably affected by recruitment and training challenges.

The world has moved on in the last two years, many have reassessed their priorities and even if you are following the narrative, how do you put it into practice?

Have your say as Chair, Julian Worricker puts audience questions to the panel.
