Read how PRS Intel is empowering local authorities with data-driven decisions to improve the private rental sector, by identifying unlicensed HMOs and rogue landlords.
The private rental sector has been a topic of concern for many years, with issues such as rogue landlords, unlicensed HMOs, and poor quality accommodation impacting tenants across the UK. While national government-level voices have called for greater use of data services to address these issues, expert data analysis at local authority level has been underutilised due to under-staffing and under-resourcing.
Enter PRS Intel, a new organisation dedicated to helping local authorities access deep, technical data to identify unlicensed HMOs and rogue landlords. This service aims to empower housing officers to make data-driven decisions and ultimately improve the quality of private rental accommodation.
PRS Intel has recognised the challenges that local authorities face in dealing with the private rental sector. With limited resources and staffing, it can be difficult for housing officers to identify and track down rogue landlords. PRS Intel aims to fill this gap by providing local authorities with access to expert data analysis, enabling them to identify areas of concern and take action where necessary.
So, how does PRS Intel work? The organisation collects data from various sources, including public records, social media, and other online platforms. They then use advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to analyse this data and identify potential unlicensed HMOs and rogue landlords. The results are presented to housing officers in an easy-to-understand format, enabling them to take action quickly and effectively.
By providing local authorities with expert data analysis, PRS Intel aims to improve the private rental sector for tenants and landlords alike. Tenants can feel confident that their accommodation is safe and well-maintained, while landlords can operate in a fair and legal manner.
In conclusion, PRS Intel is an exciting new organisation that seeks to address the challenges faced by local authorities in improving the private rental sector. By providing expert data analysis and empowering housing officers to make data-driven decisions, PRS Intel is helping to create a fairer and safer private rental sector for all.
