All privately-rented homes licenced under the selective licensing scheme must comply with a set of conditions which relate to the management of the property.

There are some mandatory conditions, which we are required by law to place on the licence. These include conditions regarding gas safety, electrical safety, smoke alarms etc.

The Council also has the discretion to attach a range of local conditions. These include conditions regarding energy performance, security, property management and dealing with anti-social behaviour amongst others.

We may carry out a visit during the licence period to ensure that licence conditions are complied with. Failure to comply could result in enforcement action in accordance with our Private Sector Housing Enforcement Policy 2024 (PDF Document, 0.57 Mb)
