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."
