Tamworth Borough Council has a new Landlord Accreditation Scheme.

Tamworth Landlord Accreditation Scheme (TLAS) is a voluntary scheme that landlords with properties in Tamworth are being encouraged to join, Whether a landlord has one or fifty properties there is no mimimum or maximum number required.

The aims of the scheme are to encourage, acknowledge and actively promote good standards of privately rented accommodation and to assist landlords via training and other means to become the best they can be. We run training courses and share information that will assist landlords in their business.

The scheme applies to the private rented sector only and does not include housing association properties.

How the scheme operates

The landlord should complete an application form which can be downloaded via the link on the right. Once a completed application has been received with the supporting documentation a Council Officer will come and inspect all properties to be put on the scheme.

When the paperwork has been processed and the inspection satisfactorily completed accreditation will be awarded for a period of 2 years.

Any Private Sector Landlords with properties in Tamworth are also encouraged to attend the Private Sector Landlords Forum.

If you are interested in becoming an accredited landlord or would like to attend the forum please contact the Landlord Liaison and Empty Homes Officer on 01827 709345 or email marilyn-mcnally@tamworth.gov.uk
