Tenancy ‘blacklist’ databases – what are they and what do you need to know about them? Tenancy laws set the reasons someone can be put on a tenancy database – essentially these are upon breaching a tenancy agreement, plus receiving a court eviction order or owing more money than is covered by the rental bond. Estate agents must notify you in advance if they use them, and you should also be given notice if you might be put on a database, with the reasons very clearly stated, so you can object or rectify the situation. Listen to part 1 of our podcast with Tom Chapman from Consumer Protection for details on all this information.
