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, register at the UK Landlord Accreditation Partnership, book and pay the fee for a one-day accreditation training.
Benefits of accreditation
If you get accredited, you’ll get:
- recognition that you are a good landlord and agent
- preferential treatment by universities

- regular updates.
You'll also be re-accredited after 5 years if you comply with the code of conduct.
