In this episode of Listen Up Landlords, presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle (@BeadleBen) Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_) look at the issue of pet friendly lets, and look ahead to Party Conference season, and the work the NRLA will be doing to represent landlords.
We welcome Ben Parker, public affairs manager at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, to the show to discuss the challenges of pet friendly letting – as well as potential solutions – in light of the Government’s plans for rental reform. He is joined by Frances Boyt of ARLA Propertymark, giving the agents’ views on the issue and shining a light on what they can see happening on the ground.
Joseph Taylor of the Landlord Advice Team joins us for our regular update on the hot topics on the support line, and, as conference season looms, we ask what might we glean from the political parties’ manifestos? NRLA deputy policy director Meera Chindooroy talks about what we can expect to see, and the work the association will be doing at the Conservative and Labour Party events.
