Selective Licensing for Private Rented Properties

Closed 13 May 2022

Opened 16 Oct 2021

Overview

Lewisham Council is proposing the introduction of selective property licensing for landlords in parts of Lewisham.

Licensing will help us improve the quality of privately rented housing in these areas by tackling issues like overcrowding and unsafe buildings. Licensing also allows us to tackle issues that affect the wider community, like anti-social behaviour.
