Legislation only works when it is enforced and there aren’t any loopholes.

Tenants; The rent is unsustainable and the heating bills are nearly as high as the rent!

Government; Let’s make landlords improve properties so that they are more efficient.

Green-Energy scammers; Let’s sell a solution that rides the loophole line between being government-compliant and non-functional.

Landlords; We can pay the scammers a pittance and charge our Tenants more.

Tenants; We are still cold and now paying higher rents and higher energy bills.

How easy is it to prove a retaliatory eviction?

Unless the landlord emails you stating "I'm evicting you in retaliation for x", it's almost impossible to prove.
