Just got acknowledgement of my application for selective licensing (not HMO) from London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
Compliance visit can be Monday-Friday 09:00-17:00.
Tenant required to be there to sign a "compliance form".
I'm available any time.
But tenant will have to take a day off work.
Can they require this without any compensation being offered?
As LBBD claims to have 17,000 private rented properties won't all these extra days off work have a significant economic effect: more than days lost through strikes for instance?
If landlord has not "assisted in facilitating the visit" - does that mean forcing the tenant to attend? - a licence may only be issued for one year rather than five.
£500 for five years was bad enough.....£500 p.a. is ridiculous.
Does this requirement to attend licensing compliance visits need to be written into tenancy agreements.
Surely it's the landlord/property that is licensed - not the tenant who may well change within the five year currency of the licence.
