Renting in your borough

Your local council has significant powers in relation to private renting. The council has a duty to intervene when private landlords are behaving badly, and when conditions in a privately rented home are poor. And in 2011, councils were given more power to change private renting in their borough – for example, by introducing compulsory landlord licensing. The local council also has some powers in relation to letting agents.

In 19 of London’s 33 boroughs, 25% or more of the population are private renters. So it’s time they started listening to renters’ needs. Find out more about what your council is doing below. If you think it’s not enough, why not arrange a meeting with them to discuss it?
