Mandy's Recent Activity

I haven't seen details of the new bill, beyond what I've read here, but based on that, Councils might well argue that assuming tenants are willing to supply their landlord's details (assuming they have them to begin with) on their council tax forms, these details will only become available at the start of a new tenancy - many tenants remain at the same property for several years, and are therefore unlikely to have been asked for their landlord's details when they first registered for council tax. In addition, not every landlord takes a deposit, especially given the complex and unfair legislation this is subject to. I would suggest that in addition, agencies should be compelled to pass on details of new tenancies, and mortgage providers could also be compelled to make these available. However, I doubt councils would be satisfied, as we all know that they impose licensing schemes primarily to raise revenue. Also REAL rogue landlords operate completely below the radar, as do many of their tenants.
