Welsh Assembly warned of landlord licensing

A mandatory landlord licensing scheme in Wales has been warned against by the Residential Landlord Association.

The proposed scheme, part of a new housing bill laid down last October, would require every Welsh landlord to be registered on a central register as well as having to pass a 'fit and proper persons test'.

The RLA are warning that administering such a scheme would be more costly and complex, than the proposals currently estimate.

My prediction is, despite any practical advantage a scheme would or wouldn't bring, politically its a vote winner - therefore, chances are,
the legislation will come to pass.
