About private landlord licensing

Homes to letMany private landlords, and people who manage privately rented homes, need special licences from the council to continue to rent out.

Licensing leadsĀ to decent housing standards andĀ better management of their homes for private tenants. It helps us improve neighbourhoods for the whole community.

Want to know if your landlord - or the landlord of a property you're interested in - has a licence? Go to our interactive list of private-rented homes.
