"We are not criminals, we may make a paperwork error as you’ve bought in something like over 176 new rules since 2015…" This statement by Mick Roberts really hit home and quite frankly was upsetting to read because I could...

Indeed. I wonder how many private landlords were part of the consultations for this Bill? In fact how many private tenants rather than simply tenant-centric organizations were consulted? As one who supports both landlords and tenants to ensure both are...
