Live drop-in session for lettings leaders:
Preparing your business for the Renters' Rights Act
Registrations closed.
*Registrations for this session have now closed due to capacity. We'll share details of the next session soon. We hope to see you at the next one.
Join us live on Wednesday 11 Feb at 11am.
Our first session will focus on how agency leaders are preparing their businesses commercially and operationally for the Renters’ Rights Act.
There’s no set agenda for this session. Instead, the discussion will be driven by the questions and challenges senior agency leaders are facing as the Renters’ Rights Act approaches.
Expect practical insight, open discussion, and the chance to sense-check decisions with peers and experts, without the constraints of a traditional webinar.

How do our drop-in sessions work?
This format is intentionally small to encourage open discussion.
All participants are asked to engage respectfully, keep contributions relevant, and support a productive environment for peer-level discussion.
Small group of lettings leaders
Attendance is capped at 30 senior leaders on a FCFS basis, to ensure meaningful discussion.
Attendee-led questions
You can submit questions when you register and during the session, and we’ll prioritise those with the most interest from the group.
Open discussion encouraged
The session will follow a Chatham House approach to allow practical, honest conversation.
