In this week’s #ExpertView, Debbie Davies, Assistant Director of Business Development at Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), discusses TDS’ attendance at the upcoming Landlord Investment Show in Olympia, London this week.
On Thursday (13th of July 2019), the Landlord Investment Show will be held at Olympia London and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme will be in attendance offering existing landlord members and new landlord members information and advice on all thing’s tenancy deposit related. Come and meet the TDS team at stand 41.
TDS has created a FREE e-book for landlords to simplify the Deposit Cap which will be available for anyone who sign up for TDS’ landlord newsletter mailing list. The e-book has clear and comprehensive guidance to ensure that landlords are aware of how to comply with the new legislation and shows you how you can access an online calculator to help determine the value of deposit you can request on new or renewed tenancies in light of the new legislation.
The National Landlord Investment Show connects 1000s of property professionals at venues throughout the country giving landlords and investors the chance to connect with suppliers, network and increase their knowledge of the PRS (Private Rented Sector). It’s a great opportunity to network and find out more about some of the excellent work being done in the PRS and we’re excited to be involved again.
Delegates will be able to learn more about industry legislation, including updates on the Tenant Fees Ban and deposit cap; TDS will be there to showcase our unique online solution to the Deposit Cap. TDS has a mission to raise awareness of tenancy deposit protection to agents, landlords and tenants and the Landlord Investment Show gives landlords the opportunity to ask our team the questions that matter.
The last Olympia event in March welcomed over 1,000 delegates – a clear sign that the opportunities offered by the event are in high demand.
In addition to the educational aspect of the event and a range of speakers, including Kelly Wallace, Senior Business Development Executive at TDS, there will also be an exhibition space with stands displaying a wide array of interesting products and services.
We’re looking forward to attending again, seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones. Come and meet us at stand 41; we will be there to make tenancy deposits easy, answer your tenancy deposit-related questions, provide an array of guidance documents for your perusal and show you how you can protect your tenancy deposit in a few simple steps.
