Two More Selective Licensing Consultations

A year after their first licensing consultation and only a month after their second, Manchester City Council have started another Selective Licensing Consultation. Selective Licensing applies to all private rented sector houses that are not licensed under HMO licensing. An area may be designated for selective licensing either (i) if the area is (or is likely to be) an area of low housing demand or (ii) the area is experiencing a significant and persistent problem caused by anti social behaviour that local authorities attribute to private sector landlords failing to take action to combat against unruly tenants. The holders of the licence will be required to comply with licensing conditions, some of which are mandatorily imposed by the Housing Act, and local licensing conditions from the council itself.  Read more on the RLA website.
