Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential.

Landlord accreditation scheme

Landlords who work with us are expected to sign up to the London Rental Standard and be accredited.

Landlords and agents should seek to be accredited through the London Landlord Accreditation Scheme (LLAS). You will need to attend a training day and, on completion, you will get an accreditation certificate.

The LLAS aims to provide landlords and agents with information and professional development opportunities to:

  • Allow them to operate a successful business
  • Provide their tenants with safe and high quality accommodation
  • Reduce the need for intervention from local authorities

In partnership with Accreditation and Training for Landlords and Agents Services (ATLAS), LLAS supports and encourages the continuous professional development (CPD) of its members.  

This is that they are able to maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge and skills in the management of landlords/tenants issues and of property standards to a high level.

The CPD programme validates and acts as a quality assurance for the competency of accredited landlords and agents.

LLAS/CPD training courses include the following topics:

  • practical possession proceedings under Section 21/Section 8
  • setting up tenancy agreements
  • end of tenancy management
  • taxation
  • Universal Credit / Local Housing Allowance.
