Landlords are calling for new property passports to help landlords prove their homes are compliant and tenants identify decent and safe housing.
Under plans devised by the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA), such passports would certify that a property met all legal standards. It would list improvements made to properties and contain copies of all safety certificates. Tenants would be able to access the passport online.
