Use our Rogue Landlord Checker to see which landlords and agents have been fined or prosecuted in London.
You can see if a landlord or agent has been:
- successfully prosecuted or fined by a council in London
- successfully prosecuted or given a prohibition notice by the London Fire Brigade
- expelled from a mandatory consumer redress scheme (expulsion from these schemes means an agent is no longer able to operate legally).
Before you start
Things you need to know when using this Checker:
- Records will only stay on the system for a limited time. Every record shows the date when it will no longer be viewable to the public. Please read our Policies and Procedures for more information.
- This Checker only covers certain offences.
Only landlords and agents who’ve been fined or convicted of a relevant housing offence will appear. - If a landlord or agent looks like they’ve received a £0 fine, it may be because they were convicted of multiple offences at once and the Judge issued a combined fine. The fine will therefore display against the first conviction only.
Information included in the Checker
We have built this Rogue Landlord and Agent Checker to empower renters, support local councils and others to use their enforcement powers, and deter private landlords and letting agents from behaving unlawfully.
All London councils have agreed to participate in our Rogue Landlord and Agent Checker, which contains information about private landlords and letting agents who have been prosecuted or fined.
All London councils with enforcement records have now added them to the Checker. Some boroughs have uploaded records which cannot be viewed publicly, but which are available to other London councils to help with their enforcement activities.
Our Policies and Procedures document provides more information on this.
The Checker also includes information about landlord and agent offences submitted by the London Fire Brigade and the two letting agent consumer redress schemes – The Property Redress Scheme and The Property Ombudsman.

What is it?
The Rogue Landlord and Agent Checker is a new public database introduced by Mayor Sadiq Khan. It names and shames unscrupulous private landlords and letting agents who have been prosecuted or fined for housing offences such as allowing homes to fall into a bad or dangerous condition – for example, through overcrowding, providing poor escape routes or badly maintained fire doors.
How does it work?
The checker allows you to find out whether a current or future landlord has a record of such offences, to help you make an informed choice about where you live. It will also allow you to easily report a landlord or agent whom you suspect of unscrupulous practices.
Who does the checker cover?
At the moment, landlords and agents from ten boroughs – Brent, Camden, Greenwich, Islington, Kingston, Newham, Southwark, Sutton, Waltham Forest and Westminster – are on the database. This will allow 600,000 tenants, a quarter of London renters, to check for rogue landlords and agents in their area.
What about other boroughs?
Eight more boroughs – Barking and Dagenham, Croydon, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Lewisham, Redbridge and Tower Hamlets – will submit records to the database in the next few weeks. The Mayor wants all London councils to add their data, to help protect tenants in their areas.
What information is on there?
You can use the checker to see:
o Landlords and agents’ full names
o What type of action was taken against them, for what offence, and any fines
o Who undertook the enforcement – for example, a London borough
o The address of the property where the offence took place
o Part of the landlord’s home address
For legal reasons, names are only visible to the public for a limited time, typically 12 months. A private database will hold records for up to 10 years, to allow authorities to get a full picture of a landlord or agent’s past when conducting investigations.
Where can I find it?
The Rogue Landlord and Agent Checker is on the City Hall website here: www.london.gov.uk/rogue-landlord-checker
