Private Rented Housing: Ombudsman

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 20 July 2026 to Question 14822 on Private Rented Housing: Ombudsman, whether The Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman will have an obligation to share evidence of non-compliance by landlords with the local authority.

Answer

We are currently working through the details of how the new PRS Landlord Ombudsman service will operate once it is launched and local authorities are being engaged to that end.

Final decisions have not yet been made in respect of the specific circumstances in which the Ombudsman must, or may, share information with local authorities.
