Putting your home address on Labour’s public Landlord Database?

I, having left the PRS, would not be putting my home address on Labour’s ill-thought-out and honestly quite dangerous publicly accessible Landlords Database. Even more so, as it would appear when no longer a PRS landlord, you cannot be removed.

Yes, tenants have, as legally required, an address for their PRS Landlord if the landlord is self-managing. But prospective tenants do not, nor does the general public or media.

Personally, I’m looking forward to the first court case brought by a landlord (for themselves AND their family members) with the possible defences of:
a breach of ECHR and HR Acts (Article 8),
Protection From Harassment Act (s4);
Crime and Disorder Act (s32);
Criminal Justice Act 1988/2003 (s39). There are others.

For not complying, i.e giving their home address on Labour’s public PRS Landlords Database.

I doubt if the NRLA will be doing anything, though they should IF, as they claim, they support PRS landlords and lobby MPs on their behalf and taking substantial sums of money from many PRS landlords.

What do other landlords think about the PRS Database?

Thanks,

Judith
