Wandsworth Council has abandoned plans to introduce
landlord licensing.At a meeting to discuss the issue the authority noted that
as there had been a reduction in the number of complaints about PRS homes and a
high level of tenant satisfaction there was no evidence to justify bringing in
additional or selective licensing. As an alternative it has come up with a
10-point plan to tackle criminal landlords and regulate the PRS using existing
powers. These are:
·
Prioritising housing enforcement in the wards
with the most complaints
·
Setting up targeted action days
·
Streamlining administration support so officers
can concentrate on landlord / tenant activity
·
Improving information and advice on the
council’s website
·
Reviewing processes for serving legal notices
Read the other five on the RLA website.
