Landlord licensing in Barking and Dagenham.
Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Barking and Dagenham this is London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, which, in common with other London boroughs, may run a combination of property licensing schemes, including selective licensing covering specific streets or wards as well as wider schemes that can apply to shared and rented homes more generally.
Scheme boundaries, fees, and application requirements change over time, and not every property in Barking and Dagenham needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Unlicensed lettings risk civil penalties and rent repayment orders.
