This has been something I have been advocating for years. The feudal association between #landlord and #tenant has not reflected the consumer and property provider in the way their relationship should be. The National Residential Landlords Association - NRLA and Ben Beadle are right to look to modernise the terms. I like concept of co-living rather than #hmo especially where it promotes community and social interaction. Ultimately, Britain's largest #rentalproperty organisation may end up as an acronym, whose anachronistic origin has been forgotten, such as KFC or HSBC. What do you think and what would you describe #landlords as (keep it polite though!) #lettingagents #propertymanagers #propertymanagement https://lnkd.in/e6cKaSq7

Sean Hooker we have been talking about this for years and written about it. The title landlord is now too dated..changing name and perception is very important. Landlords are Housing providers

More pressing than changing the term landlord is differentiating between private landlords and public housing providers, who are also called landlords and who have different standards, rules and motivations.

7moGreat idea but I think asking the masses for a name shows a lack of leadership, I am a grateful for the work and support the NRLA offer but perhaps they should have come up with a replacement word rather than offering it out the the public, where no one will agree and and it will be open to disruptors. COME ON #Benbeagle give us a name we can all rally around
