The National Landlords Association is encouraging
landlords in Ashfield to become accredited to take advantage of discounted
property licensing fees. From May 1, landlords in Ashfield will require a
licence for every property they let, or they could be subject to a £20,000
fine. The scheme has been set up to tackle problems identified by the Council
as poor quality of rented properties, poorly behaved tenants and anti-social
behaviour. However, landlords will receive a £100 discount when applying for
licences, so long as they are accredited with an appropriate body. The full
cost of a licence per property is £350 and is valid for five years. Read more
