Nottingham Licensing Scheme A Farce

A landlord licensing scheme in Nottingham has so far managed to issue full licences to fewer than three per cent of the applications received. In August 2018, Nottingham City Council introduced a Selective Licensing Scheme across many parts of the city as a key part of its efforts to address the quality and management of private rented housing. Figures provided to the Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee however show that by August 2019, whilst 17,523 applications for a licence had been received, just 472 final licences had been issued. The council estimates a total of 24,000 applications are eventually likely to be received. Read more on the RLA website.
