Rob looks at the disparity in treatment between private landlords and social housing landlords when it comes to electrical safety certificates. He highlights a case where a private landlord in Hastings was fined £10,000 for failing to provide an electrical safety certificate, while Brighton and Hove City Council, owning over 25% of social housing homes without the necessary certificates, faced no consequences.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Landlords, both private and social housing, have a duty to provide safe and secure housing for tenants.
  • Private landlords can face fines for not providing necessary certificates, such as electrical safety certificates.
  • There is a disparity in how private landlords and social housing landlords are treated when it comes to compliance with regulations.
  • Accountability is lacking for social housing landlords who fail to meet legal requirements, putting tenants at risk.
  • It is important to raise awareness about the issue and hold councils and social housing landlords accountable for their failings.

BEST MOMENTS

"It is criminal that councils can seemingly get away with this, yet landlords cannot."

"You should always have your certificates in place. But then we go to Brighton and Hove Council, and we live in Brighton and Hove, so we can speak with a bit of volition here."

"There is no accountability, by the sounds of it. You're going to have people that, and God forbid, people that could die in social housing homes because electrical safety certificates haven't been put in."

"There needs to be more accountability here. There needs to be a way that people can hold their local council, they can hold their feet to the fire."
