About west of
England Rental
Standard

We have produced a helpful landlord handbook available.

An accreditation scheme is an arrangement under which landlords and agents in the Private Rented Sector voluntarily agree to meet a set of benchmark standards relating to the:
  • Physical condition of the accommodation
  • Housing management
  • Relationship between landlord and tenants.

Accreditation is a means of codifying standards in order to promote best practice.

The West of England Rent with Confidence Scheme is administered by Bristol City Council Landlord Liaison on behalf of the West of England Local Authorities; Bristol City Council; Bath and North East Somerset Council; North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council.

As an accredited member of the West of England Rent with Confidence Scheme, you agree to a set of guidelines known as ‘the West of England Rental Standard’

An accreditation scheme demonstrates that a landlord or agent is committed to adhering to standards over and above the minimum statutory and legislative requirements.

The landlord or agent can promote this membership to prospective tenants and differentiate themselves within the Private Rented Sector.
