New Selective Licensing Regime Starts on New Year's Day
A new selective licensing regime comes into force on New Year's Day, according to Landlord Today. Around 1,100 rental homes are thought to be affected by the scheme.
Selective licensing requires landlords to obtain a licence for each rental property within a designated area. For letting agents and inventory clerks, a new regime means keeping up to date with local requirements and ensuring managed properties comply from the start date.
The source does not specify which local authority area the regime covers or the exact date of implementation beyond New Year's Day. Letting agents should check with the relevant council for full details of the scheme and its requirements.
