Communities secretary Greg Clark has offered councils a
£5 million fund to help them crack down on rogue landlords and tackle so-called
‘beds in sheds’ and other more conventional sub-standard properties. The new
funding will help up to 65 of the worst-affected councils – those that have a
large proportion of private rented stock and significant problems – to bid for
a share of the money
Councils will be able to use the money to increase
inspections of property; carry out more raids; take more enforcement action and
prosecute more landlords; and demolish more sheds and buildings that are
prohibited. Read more on the Housing Excellence website.
