The event is for established landlords who may have a portfolio of rental properties, newly established landlords and accidental landlords (someone who may have unexpectedly found themselves owning a home they are able to rent out). 

Cllr Alun Llewelyn, Neath Port Talbot Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing & Community Safety, commented: "The Landlord Support Event is an opportunity for landlords to find out about how they can access essential information and resources that could be of real benefit to them. 

“We know that private landlords play a fundamental role in the local housing sector and we are keen to work closely with them.”
