There is no requirement for anyone who rents a property to have any kind of qualification in property or be licensed,
If you’re renting through an estate agent, check if they are registered with NAEA or The Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA). These organisations insist their members perform with good practices and give residents a body to complain to if anything goes wrong.
Private landlords are not regulated but there are benefits for choosing to rent from them. It can often be cheaper renting without an agent as you won’t be paying additional fees. Agents also normally have minimum rental terms of six or 12 months, whereas private landlords can be more flexible.
