New - Rogue Landlord Database

The rogue landlord database records landlords and agents that are subject to a banning order or have committed a banning order offence.

Only local authorities can make entries to the database and can see who is listed on the current rogue landlord database. This is used for example to check before we provided funding for clients to secure accommodation.
