A council is considering naming and shaming private landlords who have been issued with enforcement notices to improve their properties.

East Staffordshire Borough Council says it has 250 complaints a year and is considering the plans in a bid to improve the quality of the private rented sector. It is also considering asking tenants to self-assess their properti

Would be interesting to do a FOI on how many complaints about landlords council recieve each year. Suspect many are ill set up for dealing with them.

I thought about starting a website something like 'rate a landlord . com'

You get the idea, disgruntled tenants get to put their experience against a property. It could work from a post code / house name&number database.

What do you think? Obviously it would be better run in the private sector....

I'd consider ratemyneighbour even more useful.

A bad neighbour (especially a noisy one) can do much more than a landlord to make your life hell. And is usually harder to detect when you view a place.
