SarahBell Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 http://www.landlordtoday.co.uk/news_features/Council-mulling-the-naming-and-shaming-of-landlords 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 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....

porca misèria Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 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.
