Dear Somebody,
Liverpool residents are being invited to have their say in the future of a scheme designed to improve standards in the private rented housing sector. The ten week consultation, which closes on 5 October 2026, is being independently managed by Opinion Research Services (ORS).
Selective Licensing – known in Liverpool as Landlord Licensing – requires landlords in designated areas to obtain a licence and meet standards relating to property management, property condition and tenant safety. The current scheme ends in March 2027, and the Council is consulting on options for a future scheme before any decision is made.
The consultation is seeking views on proposed licence conditions, fees and discounts. Residents, tenants, landlords and other stakeholders can take part by completing the online questionnaire, attending consultation events, requesting information packs or submitting written responses. The consultation closes on Monday 5 October 2026.

Sincerely,
Liverpool Noise
