Agents and Landlords to Challenge Licensing Scheme
Agents and Landlords to Challenge Licensing Scheme
Croydon Council’s landlord licensing scheme is due to be introduced on 1st October 2015. However, the London borough may face a legal challenge.
Thousands of leaflets detailing the scheme have not included the fact that the Council is facing a backlash.
Letting agents, landlords and developers have formed the Croydon Property Forum, which is seeking a judicial review. The group believes that the Council’s consultation process was flawed.
A local newspaper says that a hearing date has not yet been decided for the judicial review application, which has been compiled by a legal team including barristers who won a legal battle in Enfield, North London.
Croydon Councils claims that its licensing scheme is robust and lawful.
