Lambeth Council has launched a new property licensing scheme aimed at addressing issues related to criminal landlords and improving the quality of private rented sector (PRS) accommodation in some areas of the borough.

The new scheme began on 2 September, landlords will need a license to rent out any property to a single-family household or no more than two unrelated sharers in four specified wards.

However, the council says it’s already looking at rolling the scheme out to a further 19 wards.
