Written Question
Landlords: Cornwall
Tuesday 2nd December 2014

Asked by: Sarah Newton (Conservative - Truro and Falmouth)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what guidance his Department has provided to Cornwall Council to help tackle rogue landlords since 2010.

Answered by Brandon Lewis

The Department published guidance in 2012 for all local housing authorities on tackling rogue landlords in the private rented sector and this can be found at:

Revised guidance will be published in due course. In addition to advice on dealing with the small minority of bad landlords in the sector, it will also include guidance on improving the sector more generally, including prosecuting landlords for breaches of housing and planning legislation, pressing for the maximum penalties where landlords are convicted of an offence and the responsibilities of letting agents.
