Association reaches 20,000 members
The
Residential
Landlords
Association (RLA), one of Britain’s
leading landlord bodies, has
announced that its subscribed
membership has exceeded 20,000.
The RLA has roots in the private
rented sector that precede its
formation in 1998, making it the UK’s
first national landlord association. The
combined portfolio of its members
stands at more than a quarter of a
million properties.
Representing
members
across
England and Wales, membership
services include information and
advice to landlords, training, tenancy
management software, and discounted
services. The RLA also provides the
necessary documents required at the
start of a tenancy.
The RLA has decided to thank its
membership by entering them into a
prize draw to win one of twenty £50
high street vouchers. The prize draw
will take place on the 30th September
and all active members and associates
as of midnight on the 29th will be
entered into the draw.
Commenting, RLA Chairman, Alan
Ward, said: “Since forming in 1998,
the RLA has championed the interest
of its members and has now become
Britain’s leading voice for private
sector landlords.
“I’m delighted that we can announce
that our membership has grown to
over 20,000. This is a testament to
the work of every single one of our
members who continue to improve our
sector, making it the fastest growing
form of housing tenure.”
