Southampton City Council works in partnership with the University of Southampton and Southampton Solent University to promote the SASSH (Southampton Accreditation Scheme for Student Housing) programme for shared private rented sector properties advertised through a new online letting service. The principle aims of the scheme, together with what happens when your submit an application form can found on the website 'Student Accreditation Scheme' - a link is provided below.
The Scheme was launched in January 2003. The Standards are not intended to be onerous and are divided into three separate categories (One Star, Two Star and Three Star) allowing landlords to achieve greater recognition for properties meeting the appropriate criteria. Current SASSH standards can be viewed on the Student Accreditation Scheme website (see link below).
If you are a landlord and wish to accredit properties through the scheme, please see the landlord pages of the Student Accreditation Scheme website (below) or contact:
