Information and training: Access to training, continuous professional development (CPD) and best practice guidance. Landlords can take advantage of DASH guidance materials and events to enable them to fully understand property management and how to deal with tenancies in an ever changing environment.

Incentives and discounts on licence fees: Becoming accredited can give access to preferential services from Local Authorities (LAs) and other organisations. These incentives can include: discounts on licence fees, access to Housing Options, Bond schemes and university accommodation centres. Check these incentives with your LA.

Recognition: Being a DASH Accredited Landlord shows to tenants and Local Authorities that you are accountable and responsible. The scheme provides public recognition that you are a reputable landlord who not only maintains property standards, but who also treats tenants fairly and manages the property well.

Less Risk:  DASH will help you to understand property standards and aims to assess at least one of your properties for compliance with the Code of Conduct without introducing any enforcement action.  DASH is there to guide you. An accredited landlord is often viewed as low risk by Local Authorities, tenants and their families and universities because of this.

Branding: The DASH accreditation logo can be used in adverts, on landlords' websites and letterheads to promote the fact that the landlord is accredited.
