35 delegates representing landlords from across the UK met in London to consider issues affecting the sector at the Private Rented Sector Summit hosted by the National Landlords Association (NLA).
Issues discussed included direct payment of local housing allowance to landlords and greater local authority engagement.
Delegates came from a range of organisations including the Residential Landlords Association, the Eastern Landlords Association and the Portsmouth and District Private Landlords Association.
The NLA said the summit was an opportunity for landlords to discuss challenges facing the private rented sector and how organisations can better work together.
Barry Markham, NLA director for regions, said: “It was great to see representatives from multiple landlord associations get together to discuss issues affecting the sector.
