What you need to know

What do I need to know as a Landlord / Agent?

In order to be awarded accreditation status, alongside other requirements, landlords or agents are required to undergo specialist training and development, either face to face, online or a combination of the two. Accreditation can also often involve continuing professional development.

You will attend a one-day seminar to learn about best practice for landlords, housing legislation, and what is expected of you. You must also sign a legal declaration to say you are a fit and proper person to be a landlord.

Summary

In order to become a RwC accredited landlord you will need to:

1. Complete the online application form
2. Complete “landlord fit and proper declaration”
3. Complete the landlord accreditation training
4. Pass a property health check (only a percentage of the stock will be checked)
5. Commit to the code of conduct and agree terms and conditions
6. Agree to listing your name on a public register of RwC accredited landlords

This scheme and the approach will significantly contribute towards driving up the standards in the PRS in Wolverhampton.
