Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they will allow the public access to the rogue landlords database.

Local authorities are responsible for uploading records on the existing Database and removing entries when they have expired. The Database does not distinguish between landlord and property agents' entries. There are currently 56 entries.

The Government will bring forward legislation to reform the private rented sector, this will include – as set out in the Government’s white paper – a Rented Property Portal which will make certain details relating to landlord offences viewable to tenants and prospective tenants.
