On Tuesday 21 January 2020, the Minister for Housing Communities and Local Government approved Waltham Forest council’s proposal to designate 18 out of 20 wards for selective licensing.
The new scheme will commence on Friday 1 May 2020 and will run until Wednesday 30 April 2025.
The new scheme requires landlords to apply for a selective licence if they rent dwellings that are:
- let on a non-exempted tenancy or licence; and
- located in a designated ward; and
- occupied by a single household or two unrelated persons
|
The Council will discount licence applications by £250 if made during the first three months of the scheme.
Details of eligibility for early bird discount will be available soon.
|
The next Private Sector Landlords Forum will take place at the Town Hall on Tuesday 11 February.
The 6pm session is now fully booked so an extra session starting at 7.30pm has been set up for the same date.
Topics for discussion will include an update on the new licence designation.
Places are limited due to the size of the venue so book your free place today.
