ARLA Propertymark comments on news Bristol Trading Standards will be Lead Enforcement Authority for private rental sector

David Cox, Chief Executive, ARLA Propertymark comments on news that Bristol Trading Standards will be the Lead Enforcement Authority for the private rental sector: “We welcome today’s announcement of the Lead Enforcement Authority, and hope this is a major step forward in improving enforcement in the private rented sector. At the moment, there is a severe lack of prosecution in the industry, allowing rogue agents to operate and thrive. We look forward to building a constructive working relationship with the Lead Enforcement Authority to eliminate these agents from the sector once and for all.”
