Landlord Accreditation Scheme
Arun District Council is working in partnership with Chichester District Council to run a district-wide Landlord Accreditation Scheme. The scheme is free of charge and when an application is made, the premises will be inspected and assessed against a number of criteria. These include external structure, electrical and gas safety, security, cleaning, facilities, heating, room sizes, decoration, waste disposal, fire safety and energy efficiency as detailed in the Scheme Handbook as well as making sure that it is free of Hazards under the Housing Health & Safety Rating System (Housing Act 2004). Once accredited the property will normally remain in the scheme for a period of 5 years. If a landlord Accredits one rental property in Arun or Chichester Districts the Scheme requires that they also Accredit all their other rental properties within the Districts.
The Accreditation Scheme encompasses all suitable private sector housing within the district and is open to all private landlords whether the property be multi-person occupied, single household, student or non-student accommodation. The Accreditation Scheme aims to give professional, reliable landlords credit and give them a market advantage by distinguishing their properties from the rest. In addition, the University of Chichester fully supports the scheme and will in the future only manage or promote properties which have been accredited on the Scheme. Landlords who join the scheme will enjoy a variety of benefits which include:
- Inclusion on the University and College accommodation office’s web based advertising service (where applicable) which is used by over 3000 students looking for private rented accommodation each year
- Access to information on how to improve energy efficiency within their properties
- Full listing on the University or College accommodation lists (where applicable)
- An accreditation web page with news and information on training (in progress)
- Answers to FAQ’s, Hints & Tips
- Advice from other experienced landlords
- Landlords can also take part in the Landlords' Forum

You can download and submit by post or e-mail the Accreditation Application Form.pdf [pdf] 111KB (please note this is an older version and is currently being revised and updated and some details are now incorrect). for properties in Arun District or for properties in Arun District or Chichester District you can apply online to join the Chichester and Arun Landlord Accreditation Scheme (Please note, this will link to Chichester District Council's website).
A number of documents and certificates are required to be provided with any Accreditation Application which includes the following:

- A sketch or plan of the layout of the property showing the location of rooms and fire safety items
- A Portable Appliance Test (PAT) Report less than five years old for all appliances over one year old (any items less than one year old do not require PAT testing but a copy of the purchase receipt will be required instead)
- Fire Alarm and Emergency Lighting inspection Certificate
- For HMOs, a Fire Risk Assessment
- Additional documentation or Certificates may be required depending upon the property or its occupancy status and Licensable HMOs will also still need Licensing.
