Britain Yearly Meeting 2016: Ethical Landlords Association
A special interest group at Yearly Meeting was held by the newly-formed Ethical Landlords Association
The dramatic increase in the number of people relying on private rented accommodation was highlighted in an interest group on ethical landlords. The session, which was used to launch a constitution for the newly formed Ethical Landlords Association, considered the growing ‘power imbalance between landlords and tenants’.
Alison Gelder, of Housing Justice, spoke eloquently about the changing face of the private rented sector and said that it was ‘no longer just younger people’ who depended on it. The sector had grown by about eighty-four per cent between 2004 and 2015.
Sarah Fishpool talked about the need for an organisation that would help to promote better ethical standards for landlords and described the background behind the Ethical Landlords Association.
Friends were urged to support the new initiative.
