Nottingham council to use landlord review website

Marks Out Of Tenancy is a new landlord and property review website for tenants that can also be used as a resource for local authorities to clamp down on unlicensed properties, undeclared HMOs, properties in disrepair and criminal landlords.

Nottingham City Council’s safer housing service’s strategic housing manager, Paul Greevy, said: “Sometimes the plates come together, and the simplest ideas impact on local authorities from another tangent. In this case to the world of raising standards in the private rented sector.

“The cumulative impacts over time of statutes, accreditation and Licensing are now augmented by what has the potential to be a TripAdvisor for the private rented sector.

“If you’re letting private rented accommodation enjoy that ten star review, for the one star landlord, time for a rethink because your local authority should be in touch.”

Marks Out Of Tenancy description of their services states it “is a community of renters, working together to help everyone have a better renting experience. Every landlord and letting agent review enables a future renter to make better informed decisions.”
