Advocates Push for Expanded Landlord Licensing in City of London
What happened
Tenant advocates gathered outside City Hall to call on council candidates to support expanded landlord licensing in the City of London. The proposed program would charge landlords a per-unit fee to fund proactive inspections and create a public record of property standards results. Advocates argue that the current complaint-driven enforcement system is ineffective.

Why it matters
The proposed shift moves property standards enforcement from a reactive model, relying on tenant complaints, to a proactive, self-funding system. This change aims to better address property issues and assist vulnerable tenants who may not report problems.
