Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member considered a report, which sought agreement to join the London Criminal Landlord and Letting Agent Watchlist on the GLA website, which holds information on landlords and letting agents who have acted unlawfully and been subject to enforcement action.

RESOLVED

That the Cabinet Member:

1. Agree to the Council joining the London Criminal Landlord and Letting Agent Watchlist data sharing arrangements.
2. Authorise the Interim Director for Commercial and Operations in consultation with the Cabinet Member for the Environment, to sign the data sharing procedure, and any subsequent amendment to the procedure arising from amendments to applicable legislation, in particular but not limited to the General Data Processing Regulation.

Reasons for decision

Agreeing to the signing of the data sharing procedure will allow authorised council officers within Haringey Council to share and access information on criminal landlords with other partners.

Alternative options considered

The London Landlord and Letting Agent Watchlist is a GLA led initiative that will

only be available to those London boroughs who sign up to this specific purpose information sharing protocol. There is no alternative database available which holds such information that the Council would be able to access or participate in.
