PRIVATE landlords across Darlington are being encouraged to sign up for a free information event next month.

Organised by the National Landlords Association (NLA) Tees Valley, the Knowledge Network Event is open to any current landlords and people interested in becoming a landlord.

Councillor Chris McEwan, Darlington Borough Council’s deputy leader and cabinet member for economy and regeneration, said: "This is a great opportunity for landlords to gain vital knowledge and have any burning questions answered by a panel of local experts.”

The event will be held at Archers Law LLP, Lakeside House, Kingfisher Way, Stockton, on Thursday, November 8 between 6.30pm and 8.30pm. Places are free but must be booked in advance.

People can register for this free Knowledge Network Event via the NLA’s website at https://landlords.org.uk/events/nla-tees-valley-knowledge-network-event
