Thanet Landlords Focus Group

This Group has been running since 2008 when it was set up as the Landlord Board.  It works with Thanet Council to hold the Landlord Events here twice a year.

 

The Focus Group is made up of landlords and agents who own or manage properties in Thanet.

 

Through the Group, landlords and agents are able to put forward a landlord perspective on Council initiatives and put forward ideas for the Landlord Event.  The Group also provides a forum for consultation and offers landlords the opportunity to make suggestions on how the council can improve services to them.      

 

If you would like to register your interest in joining in a Landlord Board, then please contact the Housing Improvement Team at the council on 01843 577437, e-mail housing.conditions@thanet.gov.uk

 

 

Landlords’ Fire Risk Assessments

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, landlords must ensure that fire risk assessments are carried out and are current on all properties that contain common areas such as stairs, hallways and landings.  For more information, read the leaflet 'A short guide to making your premises safe from fire' on the Communities and Local Government web site.

 

 

Kent Landlord Accreditation Scheme (KLAS)

The Kent Landlord Accreditation Scheme (KLAS) recognises good landlords, and since the scheme was launched 46 landlords who manage properties in Thanet have become members.  For information about the scheme and how to join, visit their web site.
