Background
Letting to students can be a challenging business model, so it is important to ensure you understand the core foundations of being a landlord but also the enhanced responsibilities involved when letting to students, from management issues to right to rent checks. The course navigates the complexities of managing student lets to give you the tools required to successfully manage student accommodation.
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.
