The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is working with the Ministry of Justice, His Majesty\u2019s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) and the Judiciary to drive improvements to the county court possession process.<\/p>
We will set out more details about our implementation plans in due course.<\/p>
Local authorities are under a duty to record any banning orders against landlords or property agents on the Database; and are responsible for uploading and maintaining records. Guidance for local authorities on the use of the database can be found here<\/a>.<\/p> Our latest data from the English Private Landlord Survey shows that in 2021, 57% of landlords had a buy-to-let mortgage. The impact assessment for the Renters (Reform) Bill is available online.<\/p> The Government publishes quarterly homelessness statistics, including causes of homelessness. This includes a breakdown of the reported reason for homelessness for households who are homeless or threatened with homelessness due to end of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. The data is available here<\/a>.<\/p> Local authorities will have access to the full range of information recorded on the Property Portal. We do not have plans to record Tenants\u2019 information on the Property Portal.<\/p>"}
