The government is extending mandatory licensing for
houses in multiple occupation so 870,000 additional private tenants have extra
protection from rogue landlords, including through minimum space standards. It
is also consulting on further changes to improve the level of protection they
get. The announcement last week that the government is consulting on a swathe
of changes to mandatory licensing is worth getting excited about. Not only do
the proposals stand to give almost a million more tenants the protection of
living in a licensed property, they are also likely to enhance the quality of
that protection with new space standards and a raft of other proposals. Read
more on the Shelter blog.
