Host a Meet the Ombudsman event
Information for member landlords looking to host a Meet the Ombudsman event.
Our Meet the Ombudsman events are an important part of raising awareness and understanding of our service among residents.
Our aim is to reach as many residents of scheme member landlords as possible – including tenants, leaseholders, and local authority residents.
An event can be held in person or virtually, and will last for one hour. The Ombudsman and representatives will give a short introduction about our service, with most of the session allocated for residents to ask questions.
