Summary
This report will present a Tenant Accreditation Scheme, which had been the subject of extensive consultation with landlords and tenants.
The aim of the scheme is to encourage tenants to sign up to a voluntary code of conduct, which encompasses tenants’ responsibilities including payment of rent, looking after their property and anti-social behaviour. Compliance with the code of conduct will lead to accreditation, which tenants can use to confirm to future landlords that they are responsible tenants.
