Update on Private Rented Sector Scrutiny Panel Recommendations
Decision Maker: Housing & New Homes Committee
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
In 2014, a request was received from the
Citizen’s Advice Bureau to look at the private rented sector
using a scrutiny panel, because of the ‘…worrying
increase in the number of people seeking advice from CAB’ in
relation to the private rented sector and letting agents.
The Scrutiny Panel’s formal report and recommendations were
published in March 2015. A formal response to the recommendations
was made by Housing & New Homes Committee in November 2015 with
a committment to report progress annually.
This is the first annual update.
Decision:
(1) That the progress made in implementing the Scrutiny Panel recommendations (Summarised in 3.5 and 3.6, and detailed in Appendix 1) be noted.
