70% of Households Would Ban Landlords from Renting Inefficient Homes

A total of seven in ten UK households say landlords should be barred from renting out homes unless they improve their energy efficiency levels, according to research. The Energy Saving Trust, which polled more than 2,000 respondents in an Ipsos MORI survey, found 70% of UK households said landlords should not be allowed to let out properties that have very poor levels of energy efficiency. Among renters, 78% supported this intention. The survey also found more than half (51%) of people living in rented properties said they experience cold homes during the winter.  Read more on Inside Housing.
