π¨ THURROCK LANDLORDS: COULD YOU BE RENTING ILLEGALLY WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT? π¨
This isn't clickbait.
Over the last few months, I've spoken to several landlords who had absolutely no idea that their rental property may require a Selective Licence under Thurrock Council's licensing scheme.
The worrying part?
Many of them were experienced landlords who genuinely believed they were fully compliant. π
Failure to obtain the correct licence could result in:
β Significant financial penalties
β Enforcement action
β Difficulties managing your tenancy
β Potential legal complications
