I own a single-let property in an area that just came under selective licensing. What are the EXACT compliance steps I need to follow to get the license, including documents required, fees, and timelines, and what are the penalties for non-compliance?
Quick Answer
Landlords with single-let properties in newly designated selective licensing areas must submit a comprehensive application to their local council, including various safety certificates and management details. This ensures legal compliance and avoids severe penalties like substantial fines and inability to evict tenants properly.
