We’ve heard a lot in recent months from various politicians proposing schemes to weed out dodgy landlords. Most commonly they’re suggesting landlord registration schemes or licencing, but another idea that’s being talked about is to let tenants leave eBay-style feedback for their landlord on a special website, that would tell other prospective tenants what kind of treatment they’re in for.

Upad.co.uk, the UK’s largest online lettings agent, wants to hear from tenants whether you like this idea or not. Would it help you decide whether you’re going to get decent treatment from your landlord, or is it too open to abuse from problem tenants who’ve been – quite unreasonably! – asked to do something like pay the rent? 

It’s a short survey and shouldn’t take longer than a couple of minutes. You can find it at

and you can also be entered into a draw to win £50 of M&S vouchers. The survey closes on Friday so get your answers in ASAP.
