What are Landlord Scratchcards
Landlord Scratchcards are for landlords to visit their properties. They can also be used for viewings by property letting or management agents, or tradesmen brought in by a landlord to work on a property.
Landlord Scratchcards are for those who own but do not live in a property in a permit parking area.
Applying for Landlord Scratchcards
Landlords must show proof they own a property in the parking permit area. You will need to provide proof of ownership documentation.
Accepted proof of ownership documents are:
- legal papers proving ownership of a home, like a mortgage statement
- legal papers showing a management agency is in charge of a home, like a contract
- a current tenancy agreement
You can apply for a Landlord Scratchcard permit online.
Please apply up to 14 days before the scratchcards are needed if possible.
