Landlord accreditation
The Kent Landlords Accreditation Scheme recognises good landlords and agents who run successful businesses and provide good quality, safe accommodation.
To apply for landlord accreditation:

Benefits of accreditation
If you get accredited, you’ll get:
- recognition that you are a good landlord and agent
- preferential treatment by universities
- regularly updated reference material
- regular updates
You will also be re-accredited after five years if you comply with the code of conduct.
How to become accredited
To become accredited, you must:
- attend a one-day accreditation training (register for training at the UK Landlord Accreditation Partnership at a fee)
- know the rules and regulations on landlord and tenancy issues, health and safety, contracts and property management
- follow a code of conduct that involves complying with the law and carrying out urgent works quickly and drawing up plans of action if work needs to be done
- not act in a manner that reflects poorly on KLAS (Kent Landlord Accreditation Scheme)
- not have committed any offences or had actions taking against you such as harassment, discrimination and legal orders
