Some housing management issues can be incredibly time consuming to resolve and often get put on the “too difficult” pile. They can be relatively routine, and often minor, but still present challenges.

This workshop explores the most frequently occurring issues, examines different ways of tackling and resolving them – the options available, what works and what doesn’t. It gives delegates the tools and techniques they need with clear, practical solutions.
