SADLA becomes Associate member of RLA

Posted on 05. Jul, 2010 by Harvey in News

After long and careful consideration the SADLA committee has decided to cease our affiliation with the NLA and become an Associate Member of the RLA.
The RLA have offered us full benefits of being RLA members whilst we retain SADLA in name, in management, all its funds and all future income from commission we have negotiated with insurers and local suppliers. They will take on a lot of SADLA’s administration. This became operative on June 1st and each SADLA member should have already received a welcome email from Alan Ward, chair of the RLA, with a welcome pack of information to follow.
The main additional benefits for SADLA members are:
  1. Access to an advice line either by telephone or online.
  2. Full access to all RLA guides and documentation which cover all aspects of being a landlord including online tenancy agreements, a comprehensive library of legal documents and free advertising.
  3. Receipt of a bi-monthly landlord magazine.
  4. Receipt of a monthly e-news.
  5. Support for training courses in Sheffield
  6. Access to credit checks and tenant references at a reduced rate.
  7. Local training available in Sheffield.
  8. Free advertising on the RLA website to find tenants and to sell property
  9. Use of the RLA logo.
  10. From November 2010 members will subscribe to SADLA via the RLA’s online payment process. From 2011 members will be expected to subscribe by direct debit or by continuous payment by credit card.
  11. The RLA communicates by email and all members will be expected to supply an email address. Those SADLA members without an email address will be serviced by post for the first two years.
It was agreed by a unanimous vote of all present at the AGM to raise the SADLA subscription fee to £75 per annum from November 1st 2010.
