We want to see an increase in good tenants, longer tenancies and fewer evictions?
Hello, under the Renters Reform Bill all landlords will be legally required to join the new Ombudsman scheme which will act as a landlord register.
To balance the forthcoming landlord register I think there should also be a UK tenants database register. Our register will be aimed at holding information on good and rogue tenants from both the commercial and residential sectors.
We want to see an increase in good tenants, longer tenancies and fewer evictions. As a landlord of 32 years I think it’s important to have a UK tenants database register to prevent a rogue tenant from costing you potentially thousands of pounds in eviction costs.
Just one prevention of an eviction will save time and hassle for landlords. We are currently at the requirements phase for setting up the register but I have set up a crowd fund page with more information which can be viewed here
Thanks,
Parmeader Shinh

Landlords will be regulated going forward even more, taxed unequally compared to other business s24.
Then we’re expected to allow tenants from an unregulated source only a credit and reference check with no historical tenancy conduct , perfomance or behavior check !!

This has been tried and failed.
Only factual evidence based on court orders is likely to be acceptable. Anything else falls short of meeting GDPR regulations and is wide open to defamation and libel claims.
I recommend you NOT to pursue this.
I will not be investing for the above reasons.

Hi
Our sources of data will be trusted sources and NOT free text inserted by landlords. As this will lead to abuse and be liable
There is no free text in our system only document uploads of judgements police reports council reports .
Like bloomers, Experian services all fact based with an audit trail to root sources.
Our service aims to be an alert service when a tenant’s situation changes allowing landlords to better forecast risk…
This is new and not tried before.
In addition to providing a cross platform search service. Ie web, smartphone, app and tablet.
Again not tried before.
Even if it has the landscape is greatly different especially with the RRB. Greatest change to landlords for 20 years.
Technology and capability has moved on greatly. Ie big data.
It may have been tried in the past however under the current context of the RRB landlord register which didn’t exist in the past too. Yet partially did with council prs registers
A tenant register requires reassessing.
There is a case of equality of treatment of all parties.
An urgency to protect landlords against a huge uphill battle to gain possession of their hard earned assets.
You save for 10 years, buy a place and some else lives there for free until the balifs arrive !!
Which will only get harder over the next 2 to 4 years.
Property118 fora are a testament to this growing struggle. 162 comments on my tenant has stopped paying rent.!
The current average cost to a landlord for eviction, court costs, rental arrears…is £30000 in the UK.
This is only going to increase with more s21, low court capacity and lead times
Added with the free legal representation for tenants in court from 1st August.
More cases will take longer to close. More adjournments more costs for landlords..
An investment of a few £ will be returned by just highlighting 1 good or 1 rogue tenant.
As the cost of the intiative is spread so thinly potentially over 2.64 million landlords this is a win win and of low financial risk.
Approx £500 per landlord to prevent a loss of £30000 over 5 years is a good investment and ROI.

The aim is to improve tenants behaviour not penalise it
Leading to better tenants, longer tenancies, fewer disputes and lower rent.
Your focusing in the rogue tenants we are focusing on the good tenants
Who wants rogue tenants!!

Here is one of our use cases
Tenant explains to their GP, social worker or law enforcement the issues there having with affordability, employment status rent arrears, stress..
These professionals provide a generic update on our service subject to GDPR with the appropriate consent from the tenant. As the aim us to support the tenant as early as possible
Landlord is notified via the alert and can act in a sympathetic way. An early warning service that does not exist today.
Key area is the rise in mental health issues that is leading to tenants exclusively damaging properties
