The National Landlords Association (NLA) and the National Federation of Residential Landlords (NFRL), who together represent nearly 20,000 landlords, have finally decided for merging to build UK’s largest landlord association.

The larger NLA, combining the strengths of both organizations, will better represent the needs of all landlords at a time when the private-rented sector faces major challenges. The merger will mean a wider range of products and services being made available to members as well as a significant development of local landlord networks.

It has been researched among the membership of both organizations that there is a need for a national unified voice for private-residential landlords. After a lot of time of negotiations between the governing bodies of the NFRL and NLA, this merger rightly reflects landlords’ views which are represented with one voice to policy-makers.

Current members of the NFRL will automatically become members of the NLA. The five existing directors at the NLA will remain in place but will be augmented by two former NFRL directors. The new NLA, with almost 20,000 paid-up landlord members, is now a big voice for the private-rented sector and this will increase commercial benefits to the members but also a greater ability to influence policy at all levels. All landlords deserve to have their opinions and views represented clearly.
