Our investigations are left destitute by the owners unregulated - maybe a little red tape is a good thing
"To be honest, if someone INSPECTED cam and our homes, we would not be able to rent any 'em."
and with that, a rental manager, secretly filmed for Channel 4 Dispatches, summarizes how we see a return of the slum landlord.
have the hand of our investigation, we infiltrated a real estate empire with hundreds of homes in northern England. We found young vulnerable families housed in appalling conditions; Being lied to and advocates to be threatened with eviction, the landlord about the history that boasted "rogue" and see how our Told AND would be "quite happy "knock in" teeth with a baseball bat.
Item-ownersthugs operating throughout the country and we do not have to look far to find 'em. Hundreds of housing règlements Despite Introduced in the last 40 years by the Labour and Conservative governments both, the owners of bad thesis are booming, with complaints of housing to homeowners charitable Going Rogue Approximately 23% this year to up.
Housing Minister Grant Shappstold us that three quarters of all tenants were satisfied with their owner. Intended for the quarter that are unhappy are the poor and destitute - many of whom do not know their rights. During our investigation, we found dozens of tenants living in poverty who did not know Where can they turn for help. A single mother called Hazel had lived in a house so damp and mold in indoor That his eldest daughter asthma deteriorated. Was it unpleasant for our journalist, Jon Snow and the rest of the team in the house To Be For an hour, are thought That year the child woke up sick every day facing a wall with black mold is deeply troubling.
Almost three years afterin a house unfit for human habitation, rather than the specifics to decide, after calling more and more desperate to finally come and fix the moisture, the owner decided to increase the rent INSTEAD. Asked if it When we got to the Hazel beens she stared at the board ". I was afraid to complain because I think the owner is going to spoil me and maybe throw me out "
- We asked each council in the UK How many owners from prosecution for violation THEY subdivision. The answer is, we average less than two years in three owners. And, at a time when the government research shows over 40% of private rental houses are in poor condition.
- The government sector labor Recognized Whether it dangerously unregulated and operated year urgent review, conducted by Julie Rugg, an academic at the University of York. She told us hesitate to take advice there owners, bad "A health to the environment might say," Look, 60 of these properties ... I could condemn 'em tomorrow .. . but where people will go thesis
The hand of the Rugg review of the proposals was to create a national registry of owners. This would ensure a minimum standard for the owners and say the worst may be banned. At the time the person, including a convicted felon, the owner, you can be - and it is almost impossible to prevent a repeat of renting more properties.
The Labour government had started developing concrete plans involving "light touch regulation", and homeowners £ 50 a year to join the register. Did he not look too great goal. Within weeks of the election in 2010, Shapps announced it would eliminate "red tape" and there would be no national register.
