Liverpool set to decide on mandatory licence

Liverpool City Council is set to make kits final decision on whether to introduce a mandatory licensing scheme for all its 50,000 private rented properties.

The decision is due to be taken tomorrow, and if it gets passed it will start next April.

80% of agents and landlords are against the plan.

The cost of the licence is expected to be £500 per property over five years.... so roughly £2 a week added to a tenant's rent.
