The Cabinet will be asked to approve two new property licensing schemes for private rented homes in Barking & Dagenham: a replacement selective licensing scheme for single-family homes and an additional House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) scheme for smaller shared homes exempt from mandatory licensing. These schemes aim to raise standards in the private rented sector and ensure safe, decent housing for all renters in the borough.
