Introduction to the Landlord Accreditation Scheme

The aim of the scheme is to improve both the physical condition and management standards of the private rented sector within Portsmouth. This will be accomplished not only through the provision of encouragement, support and incentives but also by actively working with and publicly recognising those landlords who are willing to attain and adhere to good property standards.

The scheme is a partnership between Hampshire Police, The Fire & Rescue service, The University of Portsmouth and the Portsmouth District Private landlords Association.

Browse the site for more information and to apply for accreditation. You can also view vacant accredited properties on the property search page. If you need more help or information please contact us at Housing Standards, Portsmouth City Council.
