Private renters have nowhere near the same access to support as social tenants. With more and more people looking to the PRS for long-term housing, action must be taken to ensure that vulnerable private tenants don’t suffer alone and that landlords are supported to increase their understanding of the different needs of vulnerable tenants.  
This seminar includes the best examples of innovative working from within Wales and beyond to assist younger and older people, homeless applicants, prison leavers, disabled people and others to live a quality life in private rented housing.
The new Housing (Wales) Act includes new powers for local authorities to house homeless households in the PRS – we will be looking at how local authorities are gearing up for the change. 
The seminar will also look at the implications of the Renting Homes Bill for tenants and landlords, and the Welsh Government’s model contract to ask how well it meets the needs of people with different communication needs.
