Course of the month - Rent Smart Wales

Set up to raise standards in the PRS, licensing and registration scheme Rent Smart Wales marks its fifth anniversary this month.

All landlords with properties in Wales, and agents managing them must have a RSW licence to legally operate.

The NRLA is an approved RSW training provider and, as the first of the five-year licences come up for renewal we put the spotlight on the NRLA offer for landlords and agents.

The course forms part of the licence application and delegates have to pass an assessment at the end.

It is available both as a virtual classroom course and via our eLearning system and covers:

• The licensing requirements and code of practice for Rent Smart Wales 
• How to effectively prepare and set up a tenancy 
• The legal obligations for keeping property in good repair 
• The requirements for serving notice and ending a tenancy legally 

The next virtual classroom courses, which run from 9.30am-4.30pm will be held on:

• Wednesday 11^th November 2020
• Thursday 10^th December 2020
