Cllr Margaret McLennan, Brent Council’s lead member for housing, said:
“Licensing private sector landlords will help drive up standards in the private sector and is part of our aim to create more good, affordable housing for local people and a thriving economy.
“We want to work with good landlords and drive out the minority of bad landlords.
“Reputable landlords will benefit from the changes as having a license will show tenants and prospective tenants that their properties are of a good standard.”
