After reviewing comments from landlords and residents, we have decided to formally designate a selective licensing area around Claremont Road / Great Western Street in Moss Side and Whalley Range. This means that landlords and managing agents in specific parts of Moss Side and Whalley Range will need a licence to rent out a home. If you are a landlord in the area, you have up to 9th May 2023 to apply for a licence.
The scheme aims to improve management standards and conditions of private rented housing and support the reduction of antisocial behaviour. For now, we are focusing on some parts of Moss Side and Whalley Range. The Claremont Road / Great Western Street area includes around 346 private sector homes.
