Landlord Training

We aim to offer, facilitate or signpost training to landlords and managing agents to improve the level of knowledge and skills in the private rented sector as a whole, and to assist landlords to run efficient and lawful businesses.

We prioritise issues which landlords tell us are important to them, and we keep up to date with changes in legislation that landlords need to know about.

Training may be delivered directly by Wigan Council or in partnership with other local authorities, or it may be contracted to professional training organisations. There may be a charge to attend training sessions. We always welcome feedback on how effective training is, and your ideas for future sessions or recommended providers.

Training modules currently offered:

Housing Benefit: Local Housing Allowance and forthcoming changes

Managing Rent Arrears & Possession Proceedings

Forthcoming:

Supported accommodation: help for tenants, opportunities for landlords

Details of training sessions are also circulated via our landlord email bulletins. If you would like to be included, or if you have any suggestions for future training topics, please contact us.
