More than 100 councils across England have been awarded a share of over £4 million to crack down on criminal landlords and letting agents, Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick MP has announced today (3 January 2020).
The majority of landlords provide decent homes for their tenants, but a small minority persist in breaking the law, making tenants' lives a misery by offering inadequate or unsafe housing.
The new funding will be used by councils to take enforcement action against these landlords, and advise tenants of their housing rights.
This action will continue the government's ongoing work to make the private rented sector fairer and stamp out criminal practices for good.
