The number of laws creating an obligation on private
landlords has increased by 32 per cent since 2010. According to analysis by the
RLA, the total number of regulations affecting landlords has increased to 156,
up from 118 when the Conservative-led coalition government came to power. The RLA is warning the increase in
legislation has not led to an improvement in enforcement action against
criminal landlords and many councils are failing to properly use the powers
they already have. Previous research by the RLA has found that in 2017/18, two
thirds of councils had not commenced any prosecutions against private
landlords. Read more on the RLA website.
