An NLA membership allows you to feel protected in rental matters, and also ensures that your tenants know you’re trustworthy. Here’s why we think you should be an NLA member as a landlord:
It works better for both parties if the landlord and tenant have a positive relationship. This begins with having a good tenancy agreement and proper vetting. If you’re unsure on anything, the NLA offers members an advice line and tenant referencing service for your peace of mind. At the same time, it's important that tenants know what to expect from their future home, so if you’re a member of the NLA, it’ll reassure them.
With the recent changes to legislation and increasing competition in the rental market, being an NLA landlord will mean you are seen to be professional. Another bonus is various local authorities provide discounts to NLA accredited members. This includes reductions on Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licenses.
The NLA is an independent organisation covering England, Scotland and Wales. If you’re a tenant, be sure to check that your landlord is a member on the NLA website.The overall aim of the scheme is to get as many credible landlords together, so they can all benefit from better tenants, feel supported and financially secure. Also, if you’re an NLA member you have the right to display the logo on your website or paperwork, so you can show off your landlord credibility!
If you’re a private landlord looking for advice on anything from buy-to-let mortgages to landlord insurance, the NLA website will be able to answer all of your questions. Similarly, if you are a tenant wanting to find out more about your landlord then the information is only a click away!
