National Residential Landlords Association
The NRLA (National Residential Landlords Association) is the main membership body representing private residential landlords in England and Wales in the private rented sector (PRS). It was formed from the merger of two earlier landlord associations and now has over 110,000 members, collectively owning or managing around 10% of the private rented sector (PRS).
The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) offers:
Advice and training on day-to-day management, legal compliance and best practice.
Templates and tools, such as tenancy agreements, compliance checklists and updates on new rules like those introduced by the Renters’ Rights Act.
Representation and lobbying, providing a collective voice in government consultations on reforms including the abolition of most “no-fault” Section 21 evictions and the expansion of ombudsman redress.
Membership does not change a landlord’s legal duties under housing law or the Renters’ Rights Act, but it can make it easier to keep up sector focused regulation, access training expected of “professional” landlords, and feed into policy debates. For many landlords, especially those with small portfolios, the NRLA is a good source of guidance on how to operate fairly, lawfully and sustainably in the modern private rented sector (PRS).
