The Codes

What are the Unipol Codes?

The Unipol Codes are accreditation schemes that student accommodation providers can join voluntarily. When landlords sign up to the Codes, they become obligated to maintain high standards in:• The quality and safety of the accommodation
• Property management
• The relationship between landlord and tenant

 

Why should you rent from a Code landlord next year?

You'll have peace of mind. Code landlords are committed to providing quality accommodation and good management practices. Here’s why it matters for you:

  • Quick repairs and maintenance: Your landlord must handle repairs promptly.
  • Deposit protection: Your deposit will be protected and returned promptly with clear reasons for any deductions.
  • Properly managed properties: Your accommodation will be well-managed, regulated, and safe.
  • Fair complaints process: If you have any problems, you can use a dependable complaints process to resolve issues. Unipol receives most complaints from non-Code landlords, so choosing a Code landlord is always a safer option.

 

Is your landlord accredited?

Look for the Code logo on properties advertised by Unipol. You can also find accredited landlords by looking for green and blue adverts/pins on the Unipol website or by checking the accredited landlords directory.
