A range of landlord offences, such as leasing overcrowded properties, fire and gas safety offences and unlawful eviction, will be put on a new database, so councils can share information between themselves and crackdown on poor and unfair practice.
As part of reforms under the Housing and Planning Act 2016, landlords convicted of offences may be given banning orders preventing them from leasing accommodation for a period of time.
Councils must record details of any landlord or property agent who has received a banning order on the database. Landlords that ignore a banning order will face criminal sanctions including up to six months imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
Minister for Housing and Homelessness Heather Wheeler said: “I am committed to making sure people who are renting are living in safe and good quality properties. That’s why we’re cracking down on the small minority of landlords that are renting out unsafe and substandard accommodation.
“Landlords should be in no doubt that they must provide decent homes or face the consequences.”
