Briefing: Renters' Rights Bill Report Stage - Amendment 7 (national landlord register)

The private rented sector in England suffers from a lack of transparency in local rental markets. While the Renters’ Rights Bill introduces the framework and legislative powers to establish a Private Rented Sector Database, its effectiveness hinges on the database being comprehensive, detailed and current.

A fully functioning, detailed database has the potential to drive up standards in private renting and ensure the rights and regulations in the Bill are implemented effectively.
