Why choose DASH Landlord Accreditation

As a DASH Accredited Landlord, you'll gain access to a library of best practice guidance, practical training, and expert-led events—both online and in person. Whether you're a seasoned landlord or just getting started, DASH provides the tools to navigate tenancies and property management in today’s fast-changing environment.

Accredited landlords are eligible for discounted licensing fees with multiple councils, including Portsmouth Council. Your DASH status could lead to significant savings over time.
