Private Rental Property Enforcement Statistics
I would like to request the following information relating to the enforcement of landlord and rental property registration/licensing under the Rent Smart Wales scheme: 1. Number of enforcement officers employed by your local authority who are responsible for investigating and enforcing compliance with the Rent Smart Wales landlord registration and licensing requirements. 2. The total number of private rental properties within your local authority area, as of the most recent available data. 3. The average number of private rental properties per enforcement officer (please provide the calculation if available). 4. If applicable, please also confirm: a. Whether enforcement officers dedicated to Rent Smart Wales compliance also have other enforcement duties (e.g., housing standards, environmental health). b. Whether your council records the number of inspections, investigations, or enforcement actions taken in relation to unregistered or unlicensed landlords during the last full financial year.
