The Government has revealed it will consult on plans to
ban 'rogue' landlords and property agents who fail to provide tenants with a
safe place to live. The proposals threaten landlords and agents who mistreat
their tenants with a ban that could even be lifelong - preventing them from
letting or managing a property indefinitely. If a banning order is issued, the
offender's name would also be included in a national database of rogue
landlords and property agents. Under the proposals, bans could be issued when
rogue landlords commit 'serious offences' against tenants, including failing to
carry out work required by the council to prevent a health and safety risk to
tenants, threatening tenants with violence, or illegally evicting them. Read
