Tackling rogue landlords and improving the private rental sector
Invites views on our proposals to tackle rogue landlords and letting agents as well as abandonment in the sector where a tenant disappears.
Detail
The discussion paper sets out proposals, including a blacklist of rogue landlords and letting agents, tougher penalties for the worst offenders, extending rent repayment orders and introducing fixed penalty notices.
It also invites views on tackling the problem of abandonment in the sector, where a tenant disappears, leaving the landlord uncertain over their right to possess.
