Briefly, I am not a big fan of amendment 7. It lists some excessive details for what has to be provided in the landlords register, in particular the landlord’s name and address. We all know how worried we are about our names and addresses being in the public domain, and expecting landlords, who are ultimately business people, to do the same is one step too far. We also need to look at when a conviction for being a bad landlord is spent. If a landlord is reformed at some point, we have to give them the opportunity to show that and ultimately provide homes as a result.
