Slough Council Launches Consultation on Landlord Licensing
Landlords in Slough could soon be subject to new licensing fees and conditions under proposals from Slough Borough Council. The council has opened a 10-week consultation on selective and additional licensing schemes that would cover nearly 17,000 privately let homes across the borough.
According to the report, the proposed selective licensing would apply to privately let properties occupied by one person, a single family, or no more than two unrelated individuals. The consultation aims to gather feedback from stakeholders on the potential introduction of these schemes.
Letting agents and inventory clerks operating in Slough should be aware that these changes, if implemented, could affect a significant number of rental properties. The consultation process is currently open, and the council is seeking input from landlords, tenants, and other interested parties.
