Join LLG for our annual Housing Law Conference, designed exclusively for lawyers and legal teams working within local government.
The conference will provide a practical update on the key legal and regulatory developments affecting housing and homelessness, helping delegates stay up to date with changes in legislation, case law, guidance and the wider issues facing local authorities.
We will bring together experienced lawyers, barristers and housing specialists to explore the legal issues currently facing local government, with a focus on practical guidance, recent developments and what these changes mean for local authority legal teams.
Topics are expected to include:
Key developments in housing and homelessness legislation and policy
Recent housing case law and its practical implications
Homelessness duties and decision-making
Allocations and social housing
Housing applications, reviews and appeals
Possession proceedings and tenancy enforcement
Anti-social behaviour and injunctions
Tenancy management and the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants
Disrepair and housing conditions
The regulation of social housing and the role of the Regulator of Social Housing
Housing standards and enforcement
Domestic abuse and housing law
Equality and human rights considerations in housing
