Blackburn and Darwen Council Steps Up Action on Rogue Landlords
Blackburn and Darwen council is intensifying its crackdown on rogue landlords. The council has outlined plans to use new government enforcement powers to take tougher action.
According to Landlord Today, these measures include strengthened powers from the Renters Rights Act and the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. The council aims to address issues with landlords who are described as being quick to collect rent but failing in other responsibilities.
This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring compliance and enforcement trends in the private rented sector.
