Information on selective licensing scheme

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to make a Freedom of Information request about your selective licensing scheme for landlords.

Please could you supply me with as much as possible of the following information:

1. The number of landlords and private rented properties currently registered in the selective licensing scheme
2. Any estimate you hold of the number of private rented properties in the selective licensing area that remain unlicensed
3. Whether the scheme is self-funding, or supported by other council or central government revenue; and if the latter, an estimate of how much revenue has been supplied since the inception of the scheme
4. The number of landlords with properties within the selective licensing area who have been prosecuted since selective licensing was introduced for either a) failing to obtain a license under the selective licensing scheme or b) other offences under Parts 1 and 2 of the Housing Act 2004
5. Any information available on how the fees for the scheme were calculated
6. And finally, any evaluation you have carried out on the impact of the scheme.

Thanks very much for your help, and please do not hesitate to contact me if I can clarify any of these requests.

Yours faithfully,

Anna Smith

Gleadhill, Lynn, Salford City Council

Dear Ms Gleadhill,

Thank you for the information provided. I am writing to further clarify some of the figures outlined in your response.

In the response to question 1, are the figures (872 for Langworthy Weaste and Seedley Schemes; 637 for Charlestown and Lower Kersal scheme) in referring to the number of landlords currently registered by selective licensing scheme or rather the number of private rented properties registered by the scheme?

If possible, it would be helpful to have separate figures for both a) the number of landlords registered by the scheme and b) the number of private rented properties registered.

Thank you for all your help so far.

Yours sincerely,

Anna Smith
