Carmarthenshire County Council is seeking feedback on potential new regulations for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the Tyisha and Glanymor wards of Llanelli.
If you're a resident, landlord, tenant, or have connections to these areas, this is your opportunity to influence changes that could shape the future of private rentals locally.
The council is consulting on an Additional Licensing Scheme for larger rental properties. This scheme aims to improve living standards and ensure high-quality management from landlords. Your views on topics such as the need for licensing, proposed conditions, associated costs, and the potential benefits or challenges are invaluable.
Why Is This Important?
Cllr Linda Davies Evans, Cabinet Member for Homes, stated:
“The aim of additional licensing is to improve the standard of larger rental homes and to ensure that good quality landlords operate in the area."
This initiative could lead to better housing conditions for tenants and ensure fair standards for landlords. It also provides an opportunity for stakeholders to voice concerns or suggestions, including measures that could benefit both residents and property owners.
How Can You Contribute?
The council wants to hear about:
Previous issues encountered with HMOs in Tyisha and Glanymor.
Suggestions for measures to include in the scheme.
Potential impacts, whether positive or negative, of implementing this scheme.
Your feedback will directly help shape the final licensing framework, ensuring it reflects the needs and concerns of the community.
