Housing Secretary Michael Gove has announced new measures to crack down on rogue landlords, following the death of the two-year old Awaab Ishak due to hazardous mould in his social housing rental home. “Everyone deserves the right to live in a safe, decent home and this government will always act to protect tenants,” says Gove.

This follows proposals in the A Fairer Private Rented Sector White Paper to list rogue landlords through the property portal.
