Capita's Rent Arrears Conference Announced

London, United Kingdom, April 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- National Rent Arrears Conference - Monday, 11th July 2011 in Central London

Capita’s 15th National Rent Arrears Conference comes at a time of great change in the housing sector when social housing professionals must get to grips with the emerging policies and legislation. This event provides the ideal opportunity to understand the new strategic landscape and find solutions to the issues presented by rent arrears such as worklessness, benefit shortfall and in-work poverty.

The Localism Bill and proposed reform of social housing will dramatically change the way the housing sector operates and is regulated. Increased flexibilities to landlords offered by the new Affordable Rent Tenancies, changes to the welfare system, reduced budgets and the risk of increasing unemployment mean it is more important than ever that social landlords maximise their income through new efficient methods of arrears management.

With leading expert speakers and case studies of exemplary practice, delegates will explore the following key topics:
Future-proofing your organisation against the impact posed by changes to welfare and housing benefits
Preventing rent arrears and your role in minimising the effects on your tenants
Performance monitoring and benchmarking protocols
Sources of advice and guidance to help your tenants
Avoiding evictions and up to date case law

This period of change offers opportunities to apply innovative strategies to support your tenants to manage their finances more effectively and maintain sustainable tenancies. Attend to ensure your organisation has a comprehensive grasp of the changes ahead and learn from those leading the way in prevention, efficiency and promoting stable, prosperous communities.
