Southwark Council is cracking down on unsafe and irresponsible landlords with a new, tougher policy designed to protect private renters. With increased powers to investigate, fine, or even ban the worst offenders, the council is sending a clear message: safety and decency in housing aren’t negotiable. While still partnering with responsible landlords to raise standards, they’re taking a firm stance against health risks, deliberate violations, and repeated failures. Tenants are encouraged to speak up—whether facing harassment or unfair treatment—and are empowered by recent reforms like ending no-fault evictions and capping rent hikes. Support is available via email or phone, and landlords can also get help meeting their legal duties. This is about rebalancing power so renters can truly live well in their homes.
