Landlords are being invited to a free exhibition where they
can get important advice around issues including health and
safety, finance, energy performance and tenancy deposits.
The Landlord Expo 2008, on Thursday, 15 May, is the largest
local authority run landlord event in the UK. It is organised
by Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol City, North Somerset and
South Gloucestershire Councils, together with the Bristol
Association of Letting and Managing Agents (BALMA).

considering entering the private rental market.
With information stands, seminars and demonstrations, the annual
