Does private renting in Southwark need to change?

Posted by

Southwark Council is proposing to license more properties including shared houses to reduce antisocial behaviour and improve the management and conditions of rented homes. The council s proposing to:

  1. Introducing a scheme which requires some landlords to license their property. We propose to do this in particular areas first where there is more antisocial behaviour. This is called selective licensing.
  2. Make all houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) have a licence no matter how small they are. This is called additional licensing.

Please take five minutes to fill in the questionnaire and tell us what you think at http://www.southwark.gov.uk/talkrent to help shape the future of private renting in Southwark #talkrent. This may affect homes that are let by homeowners on council estates too.

Join us at Tate Modern for a FREE visit to the KAZIMER MALEVICH exhibition. Malevich, an artist as influential as he was radical, cast a long shadow over the history of modern art. This, his first retrospective in thirty years and the first ever in the UK, unites works from collections in Russia, the US and Europe to tell a fascinating story of revolutionary ideals and the power of art itself.
FREE, but bookings can only be taken at the General Meeting on 21st October
