One of the Bill’s most significant but often overlooked reforms is the creation of a national landlord database, which will empower tenants to make informed choices and protect them from rogue landlords. Remarkably, we often have more information about the available takeaway options than about those whom we trust with our homes and our incomes. This measure raises market standards while also recognising the responsible landlords who maintain quality homes. Having introduced a similar system as community officer in the University of Nottingham students’ union, I am aware of the positive impact such transparency brings, and I am proud to see that vision realised here today.
