The Nottingham Standard for Landlord Accreditation

The Nottingham Standard for Landlord Accreditation

What Nottingham Standard Accreditation is

Supported by Nottingham City Council, The “Nottingham Standard” is an accreditation mark for landlords that guarantees a minimum standard for privately rented housing across the city. Accreditation is a set of standards relating to the management and condition of privately rented accommodation.

Landlords who join a scheme and who meet the standards are 'accredited'.

The Nottingham Standard brings unity to accreditation in the city by incorporating DASH and Unipol, under one certification mark.

Landlords already accredited through DASH or Unipol are able to use the Nottingham Standard accreditation mark.

You can check to see if your landlord is accredited under the Nottingham Standard mark by checking with the Unipol Code (if you are a student) or the DASH Code (for other privately rented accommodation)

To apply:

  1. Make an online application to DASH Landlord Accreditation or Unipol Student Homes by clicking buttons below
  2. Sign a code of conduct
  3. Be a 'fit and proper' person
  4. Complete an online training course
  5. Have at least one property visited for a health and safety check

Unipol Student Homes are a national not for profit organisation that is dedicated to improving standards of student accommodation and ensuring you get the best choice.

Unipol work in partnership with Nottingham City Council and run the student accreditation scheme the Unipol Code for Nottingham.

Students

If you are a student in Nottingham then you are recommended to rent a property that is accredited. This will give you peace of mind and provide assistance should you run into any problems as Unipol will work with you and your landlord to resolve any issues that you may come across.

Nottingham City Council work in partnership with Unipol Student Homes, a national student housing charity and recommend that you rent from a landlord or agent accredited under one of the Unipol's Codes.

Tenants

Is Your Landlord Accredited?
Use our property search facility to check whether a property is registered to a Nottingham Standard accredited landlord.

Using the accreditation mark, we are able to market the Nottingham Standard to new and existing tenants, allowing them to seek out responsible landlords. A property search allows tenants to check if a property is registered to an accredited landlord.
