Greater Manchester Good Landlord Charter - Doing things differently for the places we live

Inventory Hive Backs Greater Manchester Good Landlord Charter Led by Mayor Andy Burnham

Inventory Hive, the UK’s leading property inventory reporting platform, is proud to announce its official support for the Greater Manchester Good Landlord Charter. This initiative, led by Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, aims to promote high standards in the private and social rented sector and empower responsible landlords across the region. 

The Good Landlord Charter provides 21 Membership criteria, grouped into 7 categories:

  • Affordable

  • Inclusive

  • Private and Secure

  • Responsive

  • Safe and Decent

  • Supportive

  • Well Managed

By aligning with the Charter, Inventory Hive reaffirms its commitment to improving rental experiences through transparency, accountability, and the fair treatment of tenants. The platforms' tools assist landlords and agents in maintaining compliance, documenting property condition and cleanliness, and fostering trust between landlords and tenants through robust reporting. 

“We’re excited to support a scheme that recognises good practice and encourages landlords to raise the bar,” said Richard Abbots, CEO of Inventory Hive. “Our technology exists to create clarity and fairness for everyone involved in the rental process,  values that sit at the heart of the Good Landlord Charter.”

Tom Fisher, Head of GM Good Landlord Charter Implementation Unit added “We're delighted Inventory Hive has joined as a Friend of The Charter. The Good Landlord Charter works with organisations across Greater Manchester to improve rental experiences for landlords and tenants. We want to ensure good homes for the tenants across the city-region. This can only be achieved with a network of support for landlords who go above and beyond legal minimum requirements."

Inventory Hive looks forward to working with partners across Greater Manchester to support the Charter’s goals and create better housing outcomes for tenants and landlords alike.
