One topic keeps coming up in conversations with landlords & agents at the moment... the new national "Register Your Rental Property" database !

At DASH Services, we're receiving more questions about this than almost anything else right now. What information will need to be provided? Who needs to register? How will it work in practice? And what does it mean for landlords and letting agents?

That's why we're delighted that representatives from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) will be joining us at the DASH Services East Midlands Housing Conference 2026 to give a live demonstration of the new system and answer your questions directly.

· See the database in action

· Hear the latest information from the team behind it

· Get answers to your questions first-hand

· Understand what you need to do before the launch

We're really pleased to say Mattressman are re-joining us at the East Midlands 2026 Housing Conference this Tuesday 20th October, at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham.

Mattressman were with us last year and are back again, so it's fair to say the feeling was mutual. They're an NRLA - National Residential Landlords Association recognised supplier specialising in contract mattresses for landlords — with exclusive Landlord, Leisure and Hotel Pocket ranges built to meet flammability standards, flexible zip-and-link options and over 20,000 contract customers supplied nationwide. If you've ever wondered what actually goes into furnishing a rental property properly, their stand is well worth a visit.

Pop over and say hello to Darren Barker on the day.
Tickets are just £10, including refreshments and snacks - book yours here https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=IuY6DQY3LEKKaZK4USX8ToIAoAS--JhFu9jwALBMtyxUQzJPVkY3VFUwNzBSOFBQMzFBMDdWSjRMUy4u

Doors open at 09:00 for networking and time on the exhibitors' stands, with the conference itself running 10:00 to 16:00.

It’s back… and this year we’re talking about what’s REALLY happening in the PRS.

Six months on from the Renters’ Rights Act coming into force, what has it actually meant in practice for landlords, agents and housing professionals?

On Tuesday 20th October, DASH Services are bringing everyone together at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham for the DASH Services's Housing Conference 2026.

Expect expert speakers (cough cough yep the amazing David Smith AND Suzanne Smith), practical workshops, exhibitors, plenty of networking and, most importantly, information you can actually take away and use.

And all for just £10.

Last year we were oversubscribed, so if you’re thinking about coming, I wouldn’t leave it too long!

Have a little watch of the video and come and join us.

I'm delighted to welcome back Unipol Student Homes - Nottingham who are supporting DASH Services' East Midlands 2026 Housing Conference once again!

A national student housing charity established in 1975, Unipol works to raise standards and professionalism across the sector. Through their accreditation Codes, Unipol supports landlords and letting agents in providing safe, well-managed student housing, alongside their long-standing partnerships with universities in Leeds, Nottingham and Bradford.

Unipol's team will be joining us on the day and taking their place in one of our afternoon workshops: Student Landlords: Six Months In - How Bad Is It Really? In the workshops they will sit alongside Irving Hill, founder of Sulets and Rich Dawson one of our DASH landlords, to answer questions directly - a brilliant chance to get practical, sector-specific guidance straight from the experts. Together they will present a practical update on how the Act is impacting student landlords in reality. What's working, what's not and what have student landlords learnt so far? They'll share honest experiences, key challenges and the most effective survival strategies.

Places for the conference can be booked using this link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=IuY6DQY3LEKKaZK4USX8ToIAoAS--JhFu9jwALBMtyxUQzJPVkY3VFUwNzBSOFBQMzFBMDdWSjRMUy4u for just £10, including refreshments and snacks.

Renter’s Rights Act 🏠

We are encouraging private landlords wanting to learn more about how the Renter’s Rights Act will impact them to attend the East Midlands Housing Conference 2026.

Organised by DASH Services, this will provide landlords, letting agents and housing professionals with practical guidance on the real-world impact of the Act.

Landlords will hear from leading experts, gain practical advice on compliance, and explore how the changes are reshaping the private rented sector.

Housing law specialist David Smith and Suzanne Smith, author of The Good Landlord Handbook, will deliver the keynote presentations.

They will be joined by a range of expert speakers leading interactive workshops throughout the day.

An exhibition featuring organisations that support landlords and housing professionals will also run alongside the conference.

Sulets will be joining us once again to support the East Midlands 2026 Housing Conference.

Sulets is a specialist student lettings agency operating in Leicester & Loughborough with a charitable mission to provide quality, affordable housing for students. With over 14 years' experience, they rent to more than 2,500 students annually across a range of HMOs and purpose-built student accommodation, working with individual landlords, investors and one of the UK's largest PBSA providers.

Sulets are hearing more & more landlords saying they are concerned about the impact of the Renters' Rights Act on their HMO income?

As an educational charity, Sulets is exempt from the Renters' Rights Act and can offer landlords fixed-term lease agreements, removing the worry. Their lease offers guaranteed rent and full property management, giving landlords peace of mind and completely hassle-free letting to students.

Today is the last day of May and also the deadline for landlords and agents to have issued the ‘Government Information for Tenants’ sheet. Please don’t rely on ‘I’ve a good relationship’ with my tenant so I don’t need to do this - as your reason.
EVERY landlord needs to do it so take 2 mins of your Sunday and ping it over to your tenants today.
