Overview
One of the key priorities of Birmingham City Council is to ensure that we have the appropriate housing to meet the needs of our citizens. Private renting is the second highest type of tenure in the City.
Recent research identified that there are approximately 105,000 privately rented properties in the city. S.79 the Housing Act 2004 allows Local Authorities to implement a Selective Licensing Scheme (SLS).
A Guide for Local Authorities (2015) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/selective-lice... sets out the criteria that must be met to meet the conditions for such a scheme. The Council is seeking to commission a provider to undertake the consultation for selective licensing.
