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.
