peak4 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 No real, excuse for it, so not defending any landlord who knowingly lets out substandard properties, regardless their political affiliations. Unfortunately it seems like it's primarily a local council responsibility to ensure adherence to the relevant regulations, as other measures seem to have failed. Hopefully this parliament might get suitable legislation passed. Did MPs vote against forcing homes to be made fit to live in?. Full Fact 2017 Currently, there aren’t any specific rules in effect requiring private landlords in England to provide properties that are ‘fit for human habitation’. Instead local authorities can force landlords to deal with serious health and safety hazards that pose risks to the people living in the property. The government opposed a recent amendment that would have introduced such a rule for private rented properties, saying that it would add unnecessary regulation and cost to landlords, and ultimately higher rents for tenants. There have been two attempts at putting rules ensuring that homes are fit for human habitation into legislation in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I've watched 'Bad tenants slum landlords' and people are treated very badly and the bailiffs are sent round, they usually do a good job. Manifesto promises should be kept, copy and send to your local rag, and MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Gee Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The Labour Party machine effectively got rid of a perfectly good MP in Ilford South (Sam Tarry), who lost the whip for standing on a picket line then was deselected. Starmer's Labour, where you're punished for old school Labour values of standing with the trade union movement, and rewarded for being a slum landlord.

No problem with anyone being a landlord providing they are treating their tenants fairly by keeping the property in a good state of repair. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
