Of all the times the independent housing watchdog found this landlord at fault, this is the share that were at the very worst level — severe maladministration. It separates two kinds of bad landlord: one with many small failures, and one whose failures, when they happen, are grave. A high share is an alarm about seriousness rather than frequency; a low share means faults were mostly at the milder end.
