## Resource

Landlords in England face stiffer penalties—up to £7,000 fines—for ignoring serious safety hazards like damp, mould, or structural issues, as councils gain new enforcement powers. This move, part of a broader housing safety overhaul, also includes updated systems to spot risks faster and stronger tools to compel repairs. The goal? To shield tenants—especially kids and vulnerable renters—from dangerous, unhealthy homes. Advocates urge councils to act, while renters are now empowered to report unsafe conditions without fear of retaliation. It’s not just about fixing walls—it’s about ensuring every home is a foundation for health and dignity. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
