The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) is the UK's largest membership organisation for private residential landlords, it supports and represents more than 100,000 members across England and Wales. The NRLA considers itself a member-first organisation, created by landlords, for landlords, offering investors with large portfolios to single property landlords, support in running successful and compliant letting businesses.
In April 2020, the National Landlords Association (NLA) and the Residential Landlords Association (RLA) merged to form the NRLA, by early 2021 the organisation had 90,000 members. In 2022 the NRLA won a series of awards including property reporter, National Association award, Associatioon of the year, and Landlord investments award. After running a campaign to help smaller landlords access building safety remediation funds NRLA held its first conference 'The Landlord conference', by the end of 2022 membership had reached 100,000. In 2023 the NRLA developed and now provides an online landlords service to its members; the NRLA Portfolio, which is a property management platform, where tenancies can be set-up, and properties managed, administered, helping landlords to meet landlord obligations with further resources, support, and expert advice.
