David Cox, Policy Officer, NLA, said:
"The NLA fails to see how a list of landlords is going to target the worst excesses in the sector. A register of property addresses will be almost permanently out of date as landlords change the composition of their portfolios.
"This approach would render a register utterly unworkable if landlords are only required to re-register every two or five years. It is of no use to tenants at all."
