Property Hawk urges landlords to write to their MP over proposed landlord licence

Leading landlord website Property Hawk has urged all landlords to 'fight' the proposed introduction of the Landlord Licence.

The mandatory licensing of landlords has been proposed in a recent Government Green Paper would require every landlord to pay a fee before they could even try and let their residential property.

Chris Horne Editor of the free online service for landlords urges all buy-to-let landlords to write to their MP and put pressure on the Government to abandon the proposal.

He comments: "This is such a ridiculous idea. It will not achieve any of the stated aims of improving the rental sector for landlords or tenants. It's a box ticking exercise thought up by bureaucrats and politicians."

"Fundamentally, it strikes at the very heart of a our democracy. The government is saying that law abiding citizen can no longer do with their private property what they want...without getting permission from the state. This undermines a landlords basic rights associated with private property ownership. It's a step too far."
