A scheme to crack down on rogue landlords in Oxford has
been branded a "complete failure" as half the city's shared houses
have not been registered. Oxford City Council began licensing houses of
multiple occupation (HMOs) in 2011 to raise the quality of housing. It said the
scheme had resulted in £3.5m being invested in housing stock. The National
Landlords Association (NLA) said the scheme was not properly enforced and it
was driving up rents, forcing people out of the city. Read more on the BBC
