Areas subject to selective licensing
Rotherham has six designated areas where selective licensing will apply from 1st May 2020 to private landlords. The designations will come into force on 1 May 2020 and will last for 5 years. Private Landlords who are not exempt from selective licensing, must hold a licence for the 2020/25 scheme from this date or they commit an offence.
In addition to the offence, landlords who let properties within these areas and apply for a licence after the 31st October 2020, when their property was licensable on the 1st May 2020 or if a property fails to license within 12 weeks of it becoming licensable after the 31st October 2020, will be subject to a Late Licence Fee of £136.00 payable with the application fee. (£68+£136=£204)
In addition to the offence, landlords who let properties within these areas and apply for a licence more than 12 weeks after their properties become licensable will attract a further £136 penalty charge on the cost of the Licence Application.
