Since the NLA was launched as the Small Landlords Association (SLA) in 1973, the level of regulation for private landlords has increased beyond recognition. Whereas regulation can be helpful, in some circumstances, there is also the potential for confusion and misinformation.
It is now more important than ever for landlords to stay up-to-date with relevant changes in the rules and regulations of letting property. However, the NLA is warning that misinformation from unreliable internet sources could lead to potentially devastating consequences for landlords.
David Salusbury, Chairman, NLA, said: "As we mark this important milestone, landlords must remember that not everything they read online can be trusted. With so many rule changes and complicated detail, the right information is critical. Why take the risk by simply using a search engine when, with the NLA, the correct material can be right at hand?"
