H...Lack of knowledge is more likely to be to blame. How many staff at local authorities have even heard of HHSRS never mind are working on enforcing it?<br /><br />Also does "Joe Public" know anything about the fact that they can report ANY residential property, whether they have an interest in it or not? I'm not sure they do.<br /><br />I have and will continue to report to local authorities where I see my competitors acting in a "shoddy" fashion. I have no problem with this at all.<br /><br />How many readers have actually notified a local authority under these rules? Are we not all as much to blame as anyone else?Robson Laidler LLPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766260642081102629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22617683.post-85265260599283209742009-08-04T15:56:36.472+01:002009-08-04T15:56:36.472+01:00My Exact comment back to CLG about the whole idea ...My Exact comment back to CLG about the whole idea of licensing landlords and agents. With HHSRS, Management orders and other powers all the power is there but no one is enforcing it. If we have a new body handling licensing of landlords and agents why does anyone think that will make any difference? Unless such a body has the resources to enforce, it will be meaningless and running another one or two bodies (one for landlords and one for agents) will simply cost more for no benefit.David d'Orton-Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335494545325967647noreply@blogger.com
