You might be aware that Newcastle City Council are consulting on proposals for new property licensing schemes and are seeking your feedback on our proposals.
Property licensing schemes are intended to raise standards in the private sector, making landlords more accountable, improving property management and stabilising communities, tackling antisocial behaviour and poverty in communities.
We would like to hear from anyone who lives or works in Newcastle or anyone who owns or manages a private rented property and have arranged a number of events to allow all stakeholders a chance to ask questions about the proposals.
You can take part in the survey here.

At these events you will be able to listen to a presentation and ask questions. Staff will be available to answer questions and help you complete the online survey. Booking for these events is required.
