Private Rented Housing: Local Government
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate his Department has made of the number of local authority staff in England who have responsibility for enforcement action in the private rented sector.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The Renters’ Rights Act contains a power for government to require private rented sector enforcement data from local authorities, including the number of full-time equivalent staff responsible for enforcement in the private rented sector.
