Student accommodation accreditation process
The Student Accommodation Accreditation Scheme was introduced in 2012 by Epping Forest District Council and East 15 Acting School (University of Essex) to
- encourage good practice among landlords and letting agents
- provide good quality private rented accommodation for East 15 Acting School students within the District
This voluntary scheme provides
- landlords with a clearly defined set of standards
- a way of giving recognition to landlords who have taken a responsible approach to renting;
- students (and their parents/guardians) with the confidence that the properties have complied with these accreditation standards at the time of accreditation
As part of the three-year Accreditation Scheme
- all accredited properties must provide an annual Gas Safety Certificate to be held on file
- properties will be re-inspected if complaints are reported by the tenants or raised by the University
