I am delighted that SWLA have taken this important initiative alongside Plymouth City Council to help drive up standards in the private rented sector in our city and drive out cowboys. Being a landlord is neither easy nor straight forward and getting accredited is a really good way to ensure you are meeting all the legal requirements and that the relationship with your tenant is well managed.
