Run For Landlords, By Landlords
South West Landlords Association, formerly known as Devon and Cornwall Small Landlords Association was formed in Plymouth over 30 years ago by a group of enthusiastic residential landlords. Since its formation the name and demographics have changed but the enthusiasm of its elected committee have not.
With their own offices and staff in Plymouth, SWLA has attracted members nationwide by offering advice, documentation, training and support. The Association represents members at local and regional levels and has representation with central government agencies.
We believe that management standards, housing standards and tenants living conditions can all be improved by comprehensive training and the understanding of landlord’s obligations and responsibilities.
