The Association for Rental Living has welcomed Muse as its latest member. Membership will enable our teams, and the Association for Rental Living, to share best practice and engage on key challenges facing the industry, benefitting the whole living sector.
The membership body for all institutionally backed, professionally managed purpose-built rental living sectors, the Association for Rental Living has over 300 members across the UK, covering all touchpoints of the rental living experience. The Association is on a mission to support the rental living sector to work together to drive progress and quality.
Head of Residential at Muse, Stephanie Smith, is keen to amplify the impact of such partnerships through membership of the Association for Rental Living. She comments:
“With a national housing shortage and clear call to action from government, the need for well-designed communities, including quality homes of all tenures, has never been more pressing. Joining the Association for Rental Living will enable us to enhance our approach by drawing on its knowledge, resources and networks.”
Stephanie is a founding member of the ARL and leads as Chair on the Association’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee. She was also appointed to the Association for Rental Living Board in 2024.
