Private Landlords Supporting Stockton
PLuSS (“Private Landlords Supporting Stockton”) is a voluntary association run by landlords and agents in Stockton-on-Tees. Originally established in 2019 as an alternative to Selective Licensing within the council area, PLuSS has continued after Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council introduced a Selective Licensing scheme in 2024. PLuSS members, pre-approved by the Council, pay discounted Selective Licensing fees for properties within the PLuSS Priority Areas. This reflects the lighter administrative burden for the Council of administering well-run properties, and for the same reason PLuSS members can anticipate a lighter-touch Selective Licensing inspection regime.
Our aim remains to ensure all private rented properties in the Borough are well managed and of high quality and to do this by working together, raising standards by helping one another. We are playing our part in tackling anti-social behaviour and crime in our communities, helping tenants and other residents. We work with Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council and apply their housing standards.
Read about us on the Council’s website, in The Northern Echo and the RLA’s Residential Property Investor.
