It all sounds very worthy, but they really haven't thought it through.  The cost of improving a rental property from E to C will often be prohibitive.  It'll be the last straw for many landlords so they'll just have to sell up.  That won't help the tenants, fewer properties will be available plus higher rents.

If landlords do upgrade they'll have to increase the rent.  Again, this won't help tenants.

Perhaps far better vetting of the companies that do the work, is something that ML should focus,
