Tenants Will Get Access To Rogue Landlord Database

Theresa May has pledged to give tenants access to the government’s new rogue landlord database after an investigation revealed that not a single name had been entered into the system in more than six months since its launch – and that even when landlords’ names were listed, the public would not be allowed to see them. The prime minister’s official spokesman said: “Our rogue landlord database has only been in place since April and … only offences committed from April this year can be included, and it can take several months to secure convictions. We are clear that we expect to see entries in the database from the new year. We also intend to make information in the database available to prospective and existing tenants.” Read more on the Guardian website.
