Information for private landlords

Landlord licence

Council's can introduce licensing for privately rented properties if there's low housing demand or where there are significant or persistent problems of anti-social behaviour. Currently, private landlords do not need a licence for private rent properties in the Bury borough unless it is a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO).

Let Us project

We've informally joined the 'Let Us' project which is made up of five housing providers. The project provides a range of property services to make life easier for landlords, by creating a letting agency that works for everyone.

'Let Us' is an ethical letting agency that's run by a group of housing providers with a long established reputation for successfully managing tens of thousands of properties across Greater Manchester. They're committed to working with landlords to:

  • make more homes available in the private sector for tenants who need them
  • minimise risks to landlords though their proved robust management approach.

The 'Let Us' project will use your home to help transform lives, while making the most of your investment.

Help2Rent

'Help2Rent' has been designed to simplify and expedite the allocation process of private sector accommodation and also to support landlords and agents.
