I’m a tenant. What is Accreditation and how will it benefit me?
The Newcastle Housing Accreditation Scheme is a nationally recognised scheme that sets out standards relating to both the property and management skills of a landlord.
As a tenant you will be able to recognize landlords who have demonstrated their professionalism and this will help you when choosing a place to live.
Look out for our Accreditation logo on property adverts or go to our Accreditation pages to see if a property is Accredited.
How do I find out if a property is Accredited?
If you want to know if the property you live in, or are thinking of renting, is accredited you can check the address online here.
How do I report problems with an accredited landlord?
If you are renting an accredited property and you do not think the landlord is meeting their obligation you can report this to us at privaterentedservice@newcastle.gov.uk
We will investigate all complaints and decide if a property or landlords accreditation status should be revoked.
