Background

Aimed at residential landlords and agents, the course provides a valuable insight into hoarding behaviours and will give you the tools needed to communicate effectively with a tenant who is hoarding or living in extreme clutter. We'll also provide you clarity on how to deal with hoarding and extreme clutter in respect of landlord safety responsibilities, particularly around fire safety, gas and electrical safety, and property access and egress.

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.
