Landlords in Rotherham have called for a judicial review of local authority plans to introduce a licensing scheme.
The move echoes the recent successful legal action by a landlord against a similar idea in Enfield, north London.
The Rotherham scheme, in line with many others around the country, requires landlords to apply for a five year permit costing £625 for each property they let.
Now the Rotherham Action Group, a landlords’ body, has notified the local authority of a potential legal challenge to the proposal, which comes into effect in May and applies to four specific parts of the local authority’s patch.
