Course Background

The social housing landscape is evolving rapidly, with greater scrutiny on landlord performance, tenant safety, and service quality. Regulatory bodies now demand higher standards of accountability and transparency than ever before.

This course equips housing officers, landlords, and property managers with the knowledge and practical strategies to meet those expectations. Through expert-led insight, practical examples, and a focus on compliance and good practice, you’ll gain the confidence to manage social housing tenancies responsibly, lawfully, and in line with the latest reforms.

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. CPD points are awarded for all activities which improve those attributes and are a requisite of membership of the NRLA Accreditation Scheme.
