Council to use "intelligence" held in new landlord database
Telford & Wrekin council, in the first area set to see the landlord database roll out, has pledged "firm and robust" enforcement.
In a statement, the West Midlands council said it wants to "lead the way nationally" and promised to use "intelligence" held in the database to help renters.
The Landlord Today report does not set out how the database will operate or what enforcement will involve. Letting agents and inventory clerks working in the area may wish to follow developments as the rollout approaches.
