Middlesbrough Council defends charging landlord £43,000
A council that introduced a yearly fee of More Than £800 for landlords has defended a decision to charge an owner about £43,000 in Middlesbrough.
Gareth Stobart said Middlesbrough Council was charging the £800 for each of 52 bedrooms at student accommodation Linthorpe Hall 248.
He accused them of handing out " blanket" requirements, while university-owned sites were exempt.
The Council said The Flats were " licensable dwellings".
It said because the facility is " privately owned and operated" it was not different to hundreds of other privately-rented properties where the fee must be paid.
However Mr Stobart, group Property Manager at Linthorpe Property Management , said he and other landlords were being put in the " firing line".
" It's Just Crazy , " he told the.
He Said The Company was still dealing with the impact of Covid and far fewer students moving to The Town as a result.
Meanwhile, He Said The Building been designated as purpose-built student accommodation but he had been told it would be classified as houses of multiple occupation (HMO) for the purposes of the fee.
" No Other student properties of our size are required to pay a licence [because] The Council states they are operated by an educational body so don't require one, " He Said .
" Why aren't the university-operated buildings being classed as HMOs? "
The licence, which applies in The Town 's Newport area and is meant to provide support and advice for landlords, was introduced in 2019 but is due to be reviewed in a few months.
Some landlords have questioned its effectiveness and said they were
They also suggested that the cost was being passed to their tenants.
A council spokesperson said Linthorpe Hall 248 was not exempt as it is not controlled by an " educational establishment".
It said the scheme, which is known as " selective licensing" and was established to improve housing conditions, was approved following a three-month consultation.
" The income generated by the licence fee pays solely for the staff who deliver the scheme and The Council makes no profit, " they added.
