Your press release on 26 April 2017 says that Brent, Camden, Newham, Southwark, Sutton and Kingston are the boroughs that will pilot your new database to name and shame criminal landlords on the GLA website.

Information for private renters in London

  • Reference: 2017/3617
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
On 29 June 2017, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets launched a private renters charter, which helps to inform private renters of their rights and responsibilities. My report, 'What are London's renters thinking?', published in October 2016, noted that most London renters who responded to my survey would like the Mayor of London to provide better information about their rights. What will you do to provide key information about renting to a wider range of Londoners, and will you ensure this is made available in different languages?

Thank you for your response to my question 2017/2099. The terms of reference of the Homes for Londoners board states that "It will use its combined expertise and work with partners across the housing sector to maximise new home building, especially of affordable homes, in London through innovation and problem solving, alongside a focus on the related infrastructure issues."
