Private Landlords Must Be Held to Account

This is not directed at landlords who rent out decent homes to people at fair cost, protect their deposit, treat their good tenants with respect and dignity, repair things that are necessary, keep the home in good safe working order, give tenants their deposits back when it’s definitely appropriate, allow tenants to live in their property safely and quietly, give good references to great tenants without fuss or delay.  No, those landlords I have no beef with.

To you landlords who deviate from the above – SHAME ON YOU!     Guess what Mr or Ms Bad Landlord?  The government is gaining on you fast and tenants are knowing their rights and exercising them on an increasing (alarming for you!) basis.
