This week the <\/span>Residential Landlords Association\u00a0<\/span>launched what can only be described as the most ambitious landlord initiative in history; and it revolves around self regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Residential Landlords Association Accreditation Scheme is designed to bring about co operation between local councils and professional landlords who are committed to maintaining high standards for the sector and benefitting from the enhanced reputation that brings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe intention is to foster better communication and mutual understanding between landlords, tenants and local authorities and to provide better living conditions in higher standards of decent, safe homes,\u201d according to RLA chairman Alan Ward.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scheme is open to all landlords including those not registered with the RLA and the RLA has set up a body to over see it but promise a very hands off approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea is to help landlords to communicate to each other all the skills, information and best practice tips they have learned over the years and by doing so, hopefully, improve standards for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scheme will recognise landlords not properties but clearly inspections of individual landlords properties will be part of the process of becoming accredited.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is hard not to get behind such a scheme. Part of the reason behind the idea is fairly transparent; the RLA clearly think that such a move on the part of landlords may show enough \u2018willing\u2019 to hold off enforced regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

More power to them I say.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
