Landlord Accreditation Scheme
Perth & Kinross Council, in association with local landlords
and letting agents, has developed a
Landlord Accreditation Scheme. The scheme will give
recognition to landlords and letting agents who provide quality
properties and a professional tenancy management service.
The overall aims of the Voluntary Landlord Accreditation Scheme are
to;
- Promote good property conditions and high management standards
in the private rented sector
- Provide accredited landlords and letting agents with enhanced
status within the local housing market
- Provide tenants or prospective tenants with the opportunity to
make informed choices about their accommodation based on an
assurance of quality
The Scottish Government has
promoted accreditation schemes as an effective means of
improving the private-rented sector. Whilst most landlords do
provide safe and good quality accommodation for their
customers, there are concentrations of poor housing in
the private-rented sector.
The scheme is open to all landlords and letting agents
who let properties in the Perth & Kinross Council
area. There are a number of benefits for landlords and
membership of the scheme is totally free.

accreditation in Perth & Kinross or would like to apply to join

rented accommodation, you may wish to consider landlords or agents

Landlord Accreditation Scotland (LAS). You can visit the LAS
