Over the last ten years, a number of new laws and regulations have been implemented to make letting safer for tenants, and to crack down on landlords that scoff at the law. This includes raising the maximum fee for ‘rogue’ landlords in violation of safety rules from £5,000 to £30,000, with fees collected in this manner designated for use in further enforcement. Councils now also have the ability to ban landlords from letting and place them in a shared database of ‘rogue’ landlords.
