Burnley’s PRSF was established by Council in June 2004 and was an amalgamation of the Burnley Landlords Forum and the Good Landlord and Tenant Scheme Steering Group.
The Private Rented Sector Forum aims to represent landlords, tenants, local communities and other voluntary and statutory agencies operating in the private rented sector and aims to improve standards in the private rented sector through promoting landlord, agent and tenant accreditation in Burnley and raising the profile of responsible renting.
