An exhibition by businesses and organisations working in the sector will also be staged.

A partnership spokesman said: “We recognise that private rented housing is playing an increased role in meeting housing needs across the Humber area and we are keen to provide opportunities to help landlords build on their knowledge and skills and improve the quality of private rented property in the area.

“This conference and exhibition is aimed at anyone who rents out a property and will provide them with the opportunity to learn about the many regulations they have to comply with.”
