The problem is that LL see housing as a type of commodity to profit from instead of a human beings right to safe, secure affordable housing. LLs should be forced to rent any additional empty property they have, set at government rent controls. Housing should not be provided for profit, but by social enterprise and as housing is limited, the government should sieze these empty spaces and use them for those who are in need, instead of the current system that lines its own pockets while children sleep rough.

Whatever a tenant is in your view, they have to right to demand a LL is 'fit and proper' to rent satisfactory housing that meets UK standards before they hand over large amounts of cash and enter into a contract for months or maybe years with what could be a dodgy landlord with a shoddy two bit shack of a property.

Landlords need to be vetted by tenants so that a landlord can prove their worthiness to rent a satisfactory property that complies with UK regulations. Currently, tenants already provide enough information for landlords, including their passports for identity purposes. They also until recently, paid for the landlord to view their references which included sensitive data about them. It is unfair that landlords are not referenced, since the tenant hands over pocketfuls of cash to someone who may be a rogue landlord that rents out shoddy housing.
