Does your landlord have a licence?
In 2016 new laws were passed requiring landlords of certain multiple occupancy properties (see below) to have a licence.
A Rent Repayment Order (RRO) can be made against unlicensed landlords.
We want to help you obtain some of your rent back (up to a maximum of one year’s rent).
In particular, if you answer any of the questions below as a “yes” give us a call on 0203 0720055 or contact using the form below:
1. Do you live in a house which has five or more unrelated people and which does not have a licence? (Especially if in London or the South East of England).
2. Is the property one where the landlord has been prosecuted under the Housing Act 2004 by the Local Authority?
3. Is the property in an area with selective or additional licencing and one whereby your landlord has not got a licence?
