As a private rental sector landlord or agent, you can join the West of England Rent with Confidence Accreditation Scheme to show tenants that you meet certain standards. 

The scheme aims to raise the standard of the private rented accommodation throughout the West of England. 

The benefits for landlords and agents include demonstrating that they meet a set of professional standards known as the Rental Standard. 

Tenants will be able to identify good landlords and agents giving them confidence that their home is of a good standard and properly managed.

You can become an accredited member of West of England Rent with Confidence by joining one of the five organisations providing accreditation for the scheme. For further information, and how to join, visit West of England Rent with Confidence Scheme website.

The Rent with Confidence - Scheme Standards are available to all landlords and agents to use as guidance on good practice regardless of whether they are part of an endorsed accreditation scheme or not.
