Landlord Roadshow
On Thursday 10 March we are hosting a roadshow for landlords and letting agents who own and rent out properties in the East area of the city. The East area includes the wards and areas of Doxford, Hendon and East End, Millfield, Deptford, Ryhope, Grangetown, Ashbrooke and Thornholme.
The event will be at the new City Hall in the city centre and will provide the opportunity to find out more about:
- current progress on the housing strategy
- the Landlord Accreditation and Leasing schemes
- services and support for landlords and residents, including grants for energy efficiency, advice on Universal Credit and vetting tenants
You will also be able to meet and talk to the Housing Team, tell us how we are doing and how you would like us to support you in the future.
Date: Thursday, 10 March
Time: 9.30am to 11.30am
Venue: City Hall, Platar Way, Sunderland, SR1 3AA
