We are currently undertaking voluntary data collection to help refine the data we will require. We expect data returns to include information on complaints received from tenants and enforcement action taken in relation to illegal eviction and harassment. We are also committed to working with Safer Renting and others to monitor the effectiveness of rent repayment orders in punishing and deterring illegal eviction and harassment in the new system, and we will consider whether further changes are needed. The details of all rent repayment order cases are already publicly available online. We will work with the Ministry of Justice and HM Courts & Tribunals Service to explore how we can make this data more accessible and useful.
