Bad landlords could be stripped of their properties under ambitious plans to overhaul Greater Manchester’s rental sector, the region’s mayor has revealed.
Andy Burnham is calling on the government to give the region the power to apply a mandatory standard to all rented homes, and a new set of tools to enforce improvements.
These would include a Greater Manchester property check inspection of all rented properties, which would also protect tenants from eviction if they report concerns about poor conditions such as mould and damp.
