The National Landlord Investment Show has launched a training series to help landlords and property professionals prepare for the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill, soon to be an act.
The training will take place on 29 October 2025 at Old Billingsgate, London, as part of the UK’s largest property exhibition, which is free to attend subject to registration
With the Renters’ Rights Bill due to be reviewed in the House of Lords on 14th October for the final stages of “ping pong” on amendments, the Bill is moving closer to becoming an Act.
Suzanne Smith, founder of The Independent Landlord, said: “Whether you’re a self-managing landlord, someone who uses letting agents, or a property professional, you need to understand the new regime the Renters’ Rights Act will bring.
“This free in-person training at the National Landlord Investment Show is unique, with genuine experts sharing actionable, practical tips on how to prepare for implementation, and I’m proud to be kicking it off with my session at 11:15.”
The training will be a three-part series taking place across the event, led by property industry experts with an in-depth focus on the new assured tenancy system, the changes to evictions, and new landlord obligations and penalties.
In addition to the Renters’ Rights training series, landlords can attend over 50+ free seminars throughout the day, covering topics such as making tax digital, investment strategies and financing tips.
The exhibition will host 100+ expert property service providers offering services across tax, mortgages, property management, lettings, legal advice, and more – providing landlords access to the service providers needed to run a successful portfolio and property business. The exhibition will open at 08:30 am and will run until 17:00.
