Review and strengthen enforcement of housing and equality laws in rental sector

Petition Details

The enforcement of laws relating to housing standards and equalities in the rental should be reviewed and strengthened, including introducing on the spot fines for landlords and agents breaking them. Accreditation and kite mark schemes should be required to remove agents found to break standards.

Additional Information

Homes found to breach environmental health laws should be confiscated and repurposed for social housing. We believe this would reduce the need to build on green belt land. We believe requiring the introduction of standardised systems for renting, rather than landlords and agents’ discretion, would prevent breaches of the Equalities Act 2010.
