MISSING LANDLORDS

One of the regular issues I am faced with is missing Landlords. Neighbours and even tenants often have problems getting in touch with landlords who own a property.
There are times when their assistance is required with a damaged fence or over grown garden for example and they can not be contacted.
Some Landlords just seem to appear when it is time to collect their rent and others often leave properties un let in almost ruins, for months on end.
Trying to find these elusive Landlords can be difficult even with the use of solicitors letters.

What is needed is a compulsory register of all private Landlords with their contact details , which can be easily available to the public. I am sure the many good Landlords would have no problems with this.
I have asked the Perry Barr MP Khalid Mahmood to look into this as it is a national issue and I am hoping he may be able to make some head way with the matter?.
