Private landlords - Accreditation Scheme

If you want to become an accredited landlord or letting agent, there are a few simple steps to follow. Membership is free for individual landlords, while letting agents pay a fee based on the number of properties they manage. Accreditation lasts for one year.

What landlords need to do

If you are a registered landlord, you can apply by completing an application form. You will need to provide:

• your contact details
• a list of all the properties you own in South Lanarkshire
• a self‑assessment of how you manage your tenancies

Once completed, submit your form to Landlord Accreditation Scotland.

What letting agents need to do

Letting agents follow the same application process but must also pay an annual fee. The amount depends on how many properties you manage on behalf of landlords.

After you apply

Your application will be reviewed to make sure you meet the standards required for accreditation. If approved, your membership will be valid for one year.

To renew your accreditation, you must take part in at least one training session during the year. These sessions help you stay up to date with good practice and improve how you manage tenancies.
