People in Nottingham have spoken out about private tenants getting more powers to challenge their landlords. Some people have agreed that “this won’t be hard to implement” but added landlords need to take tenants more seriously.
A White Paper has been published to look at law changes in the private rental sector in order to help stop perceived "injustices.” As part of the proposals, the decent homes living standard will be extended to the private sector, meaning properties must be free from serious health and safety hazards, forcing landlords to maintain the home to a good state of repair.
People living in Sherwood have shared their thoughts on the possibility of these proposals becoming law. Many people have agreed that they have either lived in or know people who have lived in “vile” conditions.
