House Proud: How councils can raise standards in the private rented sector

LGiU

The LGiU has launched a report, in partnership with the Electrical Safety Council, called "House Proud: How councils can raise standards in the private rented sector". The report looks at how local authorities are engaging with the private rented sector, an increasingly important part of the housing market in England and Wales, and how they can work to improve standards in the sector. In this short podcast we hear from Phil Buckle, Director General of the Electrical Safety Council, and Lauren Lucas, Policy Manager at the LGiU, on the report's key findings, the role of councils, and the report's key recommendations.
