Background
Local authorities have an expanding role in policing the private rental sector, with greater powers to investigate, fine, and prosecute landlords and agents who fall short of their obligations. Many property professionals underestimate the speed and severity of enforcement until it is too late.
This course is designed to give landlords, letting agents, and property managers a clear understanding of the enforcement landscape and how to stay one step ahead. With expert-led guidance and practical strategies, you’ll learn how to manage your properties in line with regulatory expectations and confidently handle any interaction with local authorities.
This training course qualifies for 3 continuous professional development (CPD) points which can help towards or maintain your accreditation with the NRLA. If you are interested in becoming an accredited landlord with the NRLA, CPD points are necessary to achieve that status.
NRLA Accreditation recognises landlords who have agreed to maintain professional standards in the management and maintenance of their rented property and deal fairly and professionally with their tenants. Accredited members demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of their responsibilities and obligations and strive to maintain, increase and improve their knowledge of the market through training and development.
