A final decision on the legal challenge to a flagship council landlord licensing scheme has been set for next Thursday.
The Croydon Property Forum, a group of property professionals in the Croydon area, wants to overturn the local council’s proposal to introduce compulsory licensing of landlords, who from October are faced with having to pay £750 per property every five years.
The court hearing took place next week with the decision delayed until next week. If it succeeds - following a similar legal setback for a council licensing regime in Enfield - there could be widespread repurcussions for local authority schemes of this kind.

If the court decision comes in favour of landlords; then I'm afraid that Councils will be facing serious problems (Falling.... falling.....just like a domino) !!
