Rogue Landlords

Shelter are currently running a campaign, Evict Rogue Landlords. The purpose of this campaign is to encourage  the Housing Minister, Grant Shapps, to produce a clear plan to tackle rogue landlords and show his commitment to private tenants by ensuring that all local authorities sign up to a minimum standard accreditation scheme.
