Liverpool's landlord licensing consultation

The proposed mandatory licensing scheme in Liverpool’s has moved on. 
Opinion Research Services (ORS) are about to begin a 12-week consultation with landlords, tenants, residents and other stakeholders.

Cabinet Member for Housing, Councillor Ann O’Byrne, commented:
“This formal consultation period gives all organisations and individuals affected by these proposals the chance to get involved in the discussions and have their say. We will consider all views carefully before we make a final decision.

The citywide licensing scheme would require all landlords who privately rent properties in the city to have a licence for each of their rental properties. A landlord would be required to pass a ‘fit and proper’ person to manage their properties.

The mandatory licensing scheme is expected to come into force in 2015.
The scheme is part of a ten point action plan that Liverpool Council have embarked upon to improve standards in the private residential sector.
