A housing landlord forum set up 10 years ago by Harrogate Borough Council is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a trade fair on 4 November.

The council created the forum as a way of helping landlords and letting agents through the increasing impact of legislation on such things as managing houses in multiple occupation. It now covers such things as heating and electrical safety, community safety and saving energy as well as continuing to help landlords keep within the law.

Councillor Jean Butterfield, Cabinet Member for Housing, said: "Renting property has always been popular and in today's world still provides a good source of housing. Locally, landlords have welcomed the help and support they can get through the forum, as well as having the opportunity to meet others. Although many of our established landlords and letting agents will be attending, I would urge anyone thinking of renting out their property to join us at this trade fair."
