More than one in ten privately-rented homes in the North
East are unfit for people to live in. The properties have what is known as a
“category one hazard”, which can include damp and mould growth, a faulty gas
boiler, fire risks or excessive cold in winter. Figures emerged as both major
parties set out plans to help tenants secure better housing. The statistics,
published by Labour, are based on an analysis of the English Housing Survey, which
is produced by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
There are 22,452 “unfit” private-rented homes in the North East, 11% of all the
private-rented housing stock. Read more on the Sunderland Chronicle website.
