uin	127973
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2018 answer text <p>The Government does not support a mandatory register of private landlords. The majority of landlords provide decent and well managed accommodation and requiring those landlords to sign up to a national register would introduce an unnecessary and costly additional layer of bureaucracy.</p><p>Mandatory licensing is already in place for higher risk rental properties, larger houses in multiple occupation (HMOs). We consulted extensively on changes to the scope of mandatory licensing. There was broad support for extending this to include all HMOs with five or more occupiers. We published our response to our HMO reforms consultation in December 2017, and laid The Licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation (Prescribed Description) (England) Order 2018 in February. Where there are problems with smaller HMOs in a particular area, local housing authorities have the discretionary power to introduce additional HMO licensing.</p><p>Local housing authorities are also able to introduce selective licensing of landlords in targeted areas to tackle specific problems, as long as the statutory requirements are met. We have committed to a review of selective licensing and will announce further details on the review after Easter recess.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler grouped question UIN 128789 question first answered 27/02/2018 16:21:15 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
