Private rented property standards guidance
Introduction
The aim of the Selective Licence designation is to improve housing conditions and management standards in the private rented sector within a designated area.
The Council will deliver the schemes in cohesion with other related strategies and initiatives: particularly those in place to tackle issues of poor property conditions.
The Council will through routine property inspections make certain that properties meet the required standard by ensuring Landlords and their agents are removing Category 1 and Category 2 hazards as set out by The Housing Act 2004 (opens new window).
