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....

Wonder how many illegal immigrants you'd have to squeeze in there to make this a savvy investment?

Just done a search, seems that the market for this type of site is already saturated. Oh well..

Yes, I noticed twatadvisor.net was taken.
In some ways the shift that happened in Counterinsurgency theory was a picture in microcosm of the much wider shift that was going to happen to all Western societies over the next thirty years. Politicians would give up on the idea that politics was about inspiring the people - and giving them a vision of changing the world. Instead the politicians would adopt the ideas, and the language, of economics, and turn to treating their population as individuals who could simply be incentivised and disincentivised by appealing to their self-interest. You didn't change society any longer - you managed it. - Adam Curtis

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.
