Today in Parliament Emma Reynolds asked the Housing Minister why, when the Government’s own figures say there are over 10,000 rogue landlords in England, no rogue landlords appear on their own rogue landlord database.

Following the exchange, Emma said:

“There are of course many good landlords, but there are cases of tenants having to deal with damp and unsafe conditions. The database was launched back in April, and was expected to be a key tool to help councils tackle the country’s worst landlords.

“The Minister’s explanation that “it will take time to populate” this database, yet after more than six months not one landlord currently appears on it, will offer no comfort to anyone who is looking for a home to rent.”
