A landlord has voiced concerns about a new landlord database, which they state will be freely accessible to anyone and contain their property details for letting. The individual questioned the absence of data protection for landlords, particularly when they are required to pay a fee to the ICO to protect tenants.
The landlord noted that local councils already collect this information and highlighted a perceived inconsistency in regulations. They mentioned paying £53 per new tenant for a sublet and a contradiction regarding the address allowed on tenancy agreements versus what might be required for the new database.
