Spelthorne Private Landlord’s Forum held it’s first meeting in March 2003. The event was attended by over 30 landlords and received extremely positive feedback. The Forum now meets every six months (usually in March and September), and features speakers and workshops covering a range of issues including:
| Licensing of houses in multiple occupation | Gas safety regulations |
| How to deal with anti-social behaviour | Local authority grants |
| The role of the rent officer | The Southern Private Landlords Association |
| Housing Benefit | Empty properties |
| Rentstart – Spelthorne’s rent deposit scheme | Spelthorne’s Housing Strategy |
| Energy efficiency | Spelthorne’s Private Sector Leasing Scheme |
The Forum is open to all private landlords operating in the Borough.
