• Unipol have developed an online course which is free for Nottingham Code members and aims to meet Nottingham City Council’s Licensing criteria, which requires a landlord to have completed suitable professional development. 

The course covers key areas of the Unipol Code, as well as legal and best practice guidance for properties in the Private Rented Sector. It is hoped that the training will act as ‘refresher’ for existing Unipol Code members and a good introduction for new members, or new staff members working within accredited agents.

The Student Living Strategy

The Student Living Strategy (SLS) was agreed in September 2023 and sets out how partners can support students with their housing needs, improve the choice and quality of student accommodation among other priorities. The strategy is a partnership between Nottingham City Council (NCC), the University of Nottingham (UoN) and Nottingham Trent University (NTU) – they are termed the partners.

The Student Living Strategy supports the Nottingham Rental Standard and the partners of the strategy will be promoting the Nottingham Rental Standard as an example of good practice and a place to find good landlords and properties.
